Want a jelly-like cranberry sauce recipe with NO CORNSTARCH, NO PRESSURE COOKER, or ANY kind of thickener? Here’s the natural way to make some Restaurant style cranberry sauce that can be made in as quick as 5 MINUTES! I just love this recipe!

I’ve made this cranberry sauce recipe numerous times by now and absolutely love this recipe for jellied cranberry sauce. It can be made any time of year because it calls for Craisins, (dried cranberries.) This cooking method will naturally thicken your dried berries with no pressure cooker or thickeners! All you need is less than 10 minutes of your time to achieve this amazing jellied-like cranberry sauce. If you’ve ever had Ninety-Nine’s cranberry sauce (from their country fried chicken dish) then you have yet to try this replica. A total must make cranberry sauce recipe even if you’re not familiar with theirs — still a fabulous recipe to try and it’s HOMEMADE!

    i don’t have lemons or lemon juice…trying it with fresh squeezed mandarin juice. hope it still works!!

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Hi Barbara, white distilled vinegar is a great substitute for lemon juice. I think any acidic component should be fine. Let me know how the mandarin juice worked.
