Take-out Tuesday, Two Easy Cranberry Sauce Recipes
Happy November!
Are your thoughts turning to Thanksgiving
and the upcoming holidays?
Cranberry is the flavor of the month on the Painted Apron,
so let’s kick off the month with Cranberry Sauce recipes!
Stove top Cranberry, Orange Maple Sauce
and Slow Cooker Cranberry Orange Sauce
Stove top Cranberry, Orange Maple Sauce
combines cranberries, orange juice, maple syrup and orange zest
plus optional walnuts or pecans
A few minutes on the stove top and it’s ready!
Slow Cooker Cranberry Orange Sauce
only calls for 5 simple ingredients,
cranberries, clementines, sugar, bay leaves and cinnamon
Put everything in the slow cooker
Cook on high for 1 hour,
give it a stir and then continue to cook for 2 more hours
This is how it looks after 3 hours
Stir again, and then leave the crock pot lid off
and let it cook for another 30 minutes
It will significantly reduce down to a lovely thick sauce
All done!
The Slow Cooker sauce only makes 1 cup of sauce
so increase ingredient amounts as needed

Awesome! I like slow cooker method more…dump everything in and forget about it 🙂
I agree, dump and go!
You know me, I like making just about anything in the slow cooker. The cranberry sauce is right up my alley. Thanks and have a great week Jenna.
Me too Bernadette, I love my slow cooker!
Jenna, since I love cranberries these recipes are perfect for the holiday season. I will still open a can of jellied cranberry sauce for my sweet Daddy. Happy Tuesday!
ha ha, good ole canned cranberry sauce is a classic, but wow, these are so much better!
Jenna, both recipes sound yummy! I love the idea of the slow cooker recipe. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is almost here. Happy November!
Thanks Shannon, I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving either!
Great recipe. This is somewhat similar to what my mom did minus the slow cooker. The slow cooker certainly makes it easy!! Have a great week Jenna!
Thanks Shirley, the slow cooker is my best friend!
This is very timely, delicious and consider them saved! I just bought an enormous bag of cranberries (some to freeze) but some for sauce. And now, something new to try!
Both recipes are so easy and so good! Cheers to cranberry season!
I love the use of maple and oranges here! Homemade is so delicious. Yet, there are a couple in the family we have to buy the little can of jellied stuff for!
Ha, yes I understand, the canned cranberry is a must for some!
Yep, it’s cranberry season for sure! I like the addition of syrup:@)
Yes, maple syrup is a delicious addition to the cranberries and oranges!
YUM! Love a slow cooker way of doing things! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Me too, thanks Cindy!
I used to make cranberry sauce with K and 1st grade students as a center activity. They loved to watch the cranberries pop, and so did I! The slow cooker sounds like a great way to go; I’ve never done that!
Thanks Linda, I love to use my slow cooker, dump and go, set and forget!
Hurray for cranberry season Jenna! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. ♥
I can’t either!!!
I’ve never used maple syrup in cranberries. I’ll have to try it! Thanks so much for sharing at the Lazy Gastronome’s What’s for Dinner party! Have a fabulous weekend and hope to see you on Sunday!
Maple syrup is good in so many things, thanks Helen!
I’m drooling- they both look sooo delicious.
Thank you Judee!
