  • I tried it with fresh cranberries and with frozen ones, and I could not find any difference in taste. The only difference is in the cooking time. The fresh cranberries will just take a little longer to cook, around 15 minutes, where the frozen ones 10 minutes. The secret to making a fabulous sauce is the sugars to the orange juice before throwing in the cranberries.
