This Homemade Spiced Cranberry Sauce is not your average "open-a-can" variety! It features warm spices like cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg and a pop of fresh citrus, and is DELICIOUS!

Notes

Can you make Homemade Cranberry Sauce ahead?
You sure can! With the amount of sugar involved, it is a quick jam that can be kept in the refrigerator for quite a while.
It stays good at room temperature for several days too!
Can you use frozen cranberries?
Absolutely!
Ways to use leftover cranberry sauce:
Any leftovers go really great in thumbprint cookies, over baked brie, or baked into muffins!
