It&#8217;s simple and straightforward to make it, and though it&#8217;s richly seasoned it doesn&#8217;t have a lot of competing flavors, which makes it a nice addition to a holiday meal where there are already a number of different flavors and textures going on. Enjoy it alongside a roast chicken, turkey or ham and spread it on sandwiches with leftovers the next day to layer in a little sweet, spiced cranberry flavor. Bonus? As it cooks it fills the kitchen with the most wonderful spiced fruit aroma.<\/p>\n<h2>Spiced Cranberry Sauce Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:130\"><strong>Cranberries:<\/strong> Use either fresh or frozen cranberries to provide the tart, tangy flavor and bright red color that are characteristic of a fresh cranberry sauce.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"4:1-4:75\"><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Sweetens the sauce, balancing the tartness of the cranberries.

If the sauce becomes too thick as it cools (cranberries are high in natural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-pectin\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-pectin\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pectin<\/a>!), stir in a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you freeze spiced cranberry sauce?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"first-token\" data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:10\">Yes, you can freeze spiced cranberry sauce. To freeze it, pour the sauce into freezer-safe containers sized according to the quantity you&#8217;re likely to use at one time, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Seal the containers tightly to prevent freezer burn. Freeze them for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer the frozen cranberry sauce to the refrigerator overnight.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make this cranberry sauce with spices ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can make this spiced cranberry sauce recipe ahead of time and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. It will actually taste better if it&#8217;s chilled for a few days; the spice flavors will develop as it sits.<\/p>\n<h2>Spiced Cranberry Sauce Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2061896\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Spiced-Cranberry-Sauce_TOHD24_34508_JoJoBaccam_-3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cranberry sauce in a white bowl with a pink and maroon cloth napkin in the background\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JoJo Baccam for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do I know when the cranberry sauce is thickened?<\/h3>\n<p>The cranberry sauce is thickened when the berries have popped and the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. It will thicken further as it cools thanks to the natural pectin in the cranberries, so keep that in mind if you plan to serve it chilled!<\/p>\n<h3>What else can I do with cranberry sauce?<\/h3>\n<p>We often think of cranberry sauce as a sweet accompaniment to savory dishes, but this cranberry sauce with spices is just as delicious in sweet applications. Use it as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt or ice cream. Swirl it into vanilla <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-pound-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-pound-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pound cake<\/a> batter before baking it. You can also use it as a base for a salad dressing, whisking in some vinegar and olive oil.<\/p>\n<h3>What are some other ways to use cranberries?<\/h3>\n<p>Besides making cranberry sauce, cranberries can be used in a variety of recipes, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-banana-smoothies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-banana-smoothies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">smoothies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-muffins\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-muffins\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">muffins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-nut-bread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-nut-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-nut-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">quick breads<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-nut-bread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-nut-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cranberry-nut-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">scones<\/a>.
