During the holidays, I always have the five ingredients for this versatile cranberry sauce on hand. I add maple syrup and, of course, orange juice because it's so iconic to Florida. I serve it with ham or turkey but also on French toast or waffles. —Nancy Murphy, Mount Dora, Florida

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • Optional: Orange slices and minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the first 5 ingredients over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until cranberries start to burst and mixture thickens, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, garnish with orange slices, additional chopped walnuts and minced parsley.
