This raspberry cranberry sauce is a tasty twist on your regular cranberry sauce! I decided to try making it this way because I am crazy about cran-raspberry juice! It turned out so yummy, I am definitely adding this to my Thanksgiving menu from now on.
MY LATEST RECIPES
I am also really excited to try it on our pilgrim sandwiches! That is one of my favorite recipes for leftover turkey and I usually get the cranberry sauce in a can, but this sauce tastes so much fresher and better! When I made this recipe I actually doubled it so I could take some little containers around to my family. This would make for a pretty little holiday gift for friends.
This was really easy to make and pretty inexpensive, definitely worth the extra effort to get the fresh flavor! I got a huge bag of fresh cranberries at Costco, but I have also found them around local grocery stores.
Raspberry Cranberry Sauce
- 1 1/3 c. sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3 cups fresh whole, and uncooked cranberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 tsp almond extract or vanilla
-
Pour the sugar and water into a large saucepan. Stir together and bring to a boil on high.
-
Add the cranberries and raspberries and return to boiling.
-
Turn the heat down to medium so it is a low boil and cook for 10 minutes.
-
Place a strainer over a large bowl and pour the sauce in so the strainer catches the berries. Use a wire whisk to mash the berries to desired consistency then add them back to the sauce.
-
Stir in the almond extract then cover with some aluminum foil and let the sauce cool to room temperature on the counter.
-
Spoon sauce in to containers and keep refrigerated.

This sounds great! I think I’ll try it with orange extract and maybe even a bit of orange zest.

Hello, I love all your recipes and would like to try this one. I have tried to print it off but was not successful. When I click the print button it takes me to a blank page. Is there a way we can print this recipe off? Thank you in advance for your help and thank you for sharing your recipes.

How much does this recipe serve?
Echo says
It makes about 4-5 cups of sauce, depending how many cranberries and raspberries you pack into a cup. So, if a serving size is 1/4 cup – that makes 16 servings. But, beware… this is really good and your guests will probably take more that 1/4 cup. 🙂

Can this sauce be frozen? I’m making dishes ahead as much as possible to lessen stress on the big day!
Emily says
Yes!
Cheryl says
Can I can this sauce in a water bath style canner
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes, you should be able to can this just as you would any kind of jam or jelly. If you want to be extra cautious you could add a little lemon juice to the mixture to boost up the acidity. Hope this helps!
