This cranberry sauce is easy to make and so delicious! I will be making this for our Thanksgiving dinner, but it would be delicious anytime to add to sandwiches, as a side, or a little snack. It is also really healthy as it contains gelatin which is good for strong nails and hair as well as your gut health.
Best High Quality Gelatin for the Best Cranberry Sauce
This gelatin from Great LakesWellnes is my favorite gelatin to use. It is high quality and a reasonable price.
Organic Orange Flavor for the Best Cranberry Sauc
This Organic Orange Flavor from Frontier is my favorite way to add orange to this recipe. It is 100% pure orange extract and is high quality.
Easy Cooked Cranberry Sauce Recipe Details
You’ll need to get out a blender and molds or cupcake tins for the cranberry sauce. I prefer silicone molds as they are non-stick and non-toxic.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups cranberries
- 3 Tablespoons gelatin
- 1 teaspoon orange flavor
- 1 Cup maple syrup
First, cook the 2 cups cranberries over low-medium heat. Once they start to release juice, stir them frequently as they will begin bursting.
Once the cranberries are soft, add in the gelatin and mayple syrup. You don’t have to worry about mixing this super well – the blender will do this for you.
Quickly add your orange flavor. You want to add this last as too much time on the heat can reduce the bright orange flavor.
Pour this mixture into your blender and blend until it is the consistency of thin pancake batter.
Pour in to your gelatin molds and then place the molds into the fridge to cool until the sauce is firm – at least an hour.
Pop out the cranberry sauce from your gelatin molds – it should easily come out. Plate them up for your dinner!
I hope you enjoy this cooked cranberry sauce as much as my family does! I would love to know what you think in the comments.

Hi
Can you use an alternative sweetener besides maple syrup as I can’t have this due to an allergy? Also, where did you get the flower gelatin moulds from please?
Thank you so much
Hi Page! You can use honey for the sweetener in these. 🙂 I got the flower molds on Amazon but I don’t see them there anymore. HERE are similar ones ❤️
