About cranberry sauce

Cranberry sauce is a North American fruit condiment especially associated with roast turkey meals. This profile follows Ocean Spray's simple whole-berry recipe of cranberries, sugar and water, without citrus, spice or other additions.

Cranberries give the sauce a vivid tartness and lightly tannic fruit flavour, balanced by straightforward sugar sweetness. With no added spice or citrus, the berry character remains direct and clean.

The cooled sauce is glossy and deep ruby red, with softened whole berries suspended in a thick, spoonable syrup. It is looser than moulded jellied cranberry sauce and retains visible fruit skins and rounded berry shapes.
