With only 3 ingredients (plus water), this cranberry sauce couldn’t be easier. Perfect for when you have about 1000 other dishes to make! Flipping delicious? Yeah it’s that too.

For this last installment of Long Run Thanksgiving we’ll be whipping up a stupid simple orange cranberry sauce.

I couldn’t do a series of Thanksgiving dishes without a cranberry sauce. Cranberry sauce is easily one of my favorite aspects of the Thanksgiving dinner. I always request that a huge batch is made because cranberry sauce is leftover perfection.

Besides being delicious on veggies, spuds, grains (and I’m sure turkey if that’s yo thang) I love using cranberry sauce like a jam. I’ll even have a dollop with my yogurt in the morning #allThanksgivingErraything.

This recipe consists of fresh squeezed orange juice, maple syrup and cranberries boiled in water. That’s it.

First, squeeze oj and add to water and maple syrup. Pour mixture into a saucepan and add 12 oz of cranberries. Boil mixture until it turns into your desired sauce consistency. Mine took around 2o minutes.

Then, enjoy on all the foods.

This 3 ingredient cranberry sauce helps you savor the beautifully tart flavors of the season staple. This icon sauce has all the flavor without all the excess sugar of typical cranberry sauces.
