Baked Cranberry Sauce

Baked Cranberry Sauce combines fresh cranberries with sugar, water, and cinnamon, slowly cooked in the oven until the berries burst and thicken into a sweet-tart sauce. Chopped pecans and orange marmalade fold in at the end for added texture and citrusy sweetness. The sauce firms up when chilled, making it a make-ahead condiment that complements holiday meals or grilled dishes.

Description

This baked cranberry sauce recipe starts by mixing fresh cranberries with granulated sugar, a small amount of water, and cinnamon in a baking dish. Covered and baked at 350°F, the sauce cooks evenly as the berries burst and release their juices, dissolving the sugar and blending flavors. Stirring halfway through ensures consistent cooking and texture.

Once removed from the oven, chopped pecans introduce a crunchy element while orange marmalade adds a zesty, fruity note that balances the tart cranberries. The sauce is allowed to cool to room temperature before refrigerating, where it continues to thicken and develop its flavor.

The resulting sauce is ideal for holiday meals, especially alongside turkey or pork, or as a bright addition to sandwiches and snacks. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to three weeks, providing a convenient, flavorful addition to a variety of dishes.
