A bowl of vibrant, homemade cranberry sauce with hints of orange zest, a staple Christmas condiment.

This homemade cranberry sauce is incredibly easy to make and tastes so much better than the canned version. It’s a perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a hint of citrus from fresh orange zest. It takes only 15 minutes to cook and is a must-have accompaniment for your Christmas turkey or ham. Making it from scratch allows you to control the sweetness and add your own flavor variations. It can be made several days in advance, making your holiday meal prep even easier.
