Holiday Cooking & Baking Recipes: Easy Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce Recipe

[@PaulaDeen]

Would y'all have added the zest to the cranberries, the cream cheese, or divide it and add it to both like we did?

[@queenofcups30]

The cranberries! What a wonderful dish! I can't wait to try it! Thank you, Paula! Love you!!

[@powerapplegreen]

I would definitely add to the Cranberries because Cranberry and Orange just brings the planets in my world to order. However, I am intrigued by adding Orange 'Jest' to the cream cheese, mayo and nuts! I am making this right now as I watch this video (have had to repeat over half a dozen times). I love the cream cheese, mayo and pecans, but I think I am with you and Eddie on this. I'm thinking I should put 'Jest' in the cream cheese too. The only one stopping me is me, dog-gone-it! Only thing I'm doing different in mine is I made extra cranberry sauce for later and I am a dark brown sugar-aholic, so I used bit of dark brown sugar, plus more when I saw in your video that you thought maybe you could have used a little more sugar...that was the permission I needed to add more dark brown sugar. I can not wait until the cranberry sauce cools to start the layers! (Yummy!) What I have tasted along the way has me quoting you, Miss Paula, "It's out of this world!"

[@CathyHendrix1]

I love cranberry sauce....even the jelly stuff in the can! lol. Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one! Hope ya'll have a wonderful day and God bless!

[@danalyon9899]

Oh dear Miss Paula, you are such a light to me this year I have watched you from the beginning especially during a time I was in the hospital almost dying, the Lord sent you to me to tell me everything was going to be ok. You brought me such laughter and smiles to my heart. I dont care either if you lick your fingers I do the same Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! You are so blessed to have a family that wants to be around each other, never take them for granted🙏❤️

[@cynthiaharrell2144]

Cranberry sauce is my favorite side dish at the Thanksgiving table. Left over turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches are delicious, too!

[@CarinaPiersay]

I love cranberry sauce. We cook it with orange zest and juice. SO good!!

[@robingastonia9192]

This is my Aunt's Cranberry Salad but I call it my Mother's because I helped her make it every year. In my Aunt's and my mother's honor I make it every single year. I have already made it. It is really good all year round and you can even freeze it. MOTHER'S CRANBERRY SALAD 1 LB CRANBERRIES AND 2 ORANGES GROUND TOGETHER. LET STAND IN 2 - 1/4 CUPS SUGAR FOR 1 HOUR. THEN ADD 1 CUP CHOPPED CELERY, 1 CUP DICED APPLE, 3 CUPS NUTS, 1 SMALL CAN CRUSHED PINEAPPLE SOAK 2 - 1/2 ENVELOPES OF PLAIN GELATIN IN 1 CUP COLD WATER, THEN ADD 2 CUPS BOILING WATER. MIX TOGETHER AND CONGEAL I use a food chopper or processor,

[@poppyll8426]

Great video. You broke my heart when you said you didn’t like Black Walnuts. My very favorite with fudge and brownies. The big surprise is that they are so good with cornbread. My depression era mother taught me that. ❤️ and great dishes to you.

[@tommy7109]

great to have with leftover turkey spread on sandwiches! thanks for sharing another delicious recipe.

[@cynthiaharrell2144]

My favorite too!

[@joybeaudry8727]

We use the homemade cranberry sauce on leftover turkey sandwiches.... it's so so good! Just an added holiday kick to lunch :)

[@sharonellison8857]

Looks delicious Paula! I LOVE watching you cook, because it’s so obvious that you enjoy it so much! Also, Eddie seems to be so nice and kind. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

[@minibene6179]

Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all!! I too am a cranberry lover. This looks wonderful. Thanks Miss Paula & Eddie.

[@barbarajohnson83]

I love cranberries! I made mine yesterday in my Instant Pot and it comes out delicious. I also love the jellied cranberry sauce all during the year! I wish you and your family a wonderful and blessed Happy Thanksgiving!

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*Looks like an amazing recipe. Thanks for sharing* 😍

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This Easy Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce recipe looks so delicious 😋 Paula. And I hope Theresa enjoys herself while she's on her cruise. 🛳

[@heidid5275]

That looks beautiful!! I already made a big batch of homemade cranberry sauce and canned it. Love the idea of adding the jellied sauce and making the cream cheese trifle!! Something different on the holiday table. I wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for. ❤🦃

[@shirlynb148]

Best looking cranberry dish I’ve ever seen!

[@sherbear7612]

Looks delicious 😋. I love cranberry sauce, any kind, even the canned jelly. We grew up eating it with some oranges and coconut shavings, fresh made on the stove, oh what Wonderful memories of days gone by. Wishing you and your beautiful family a happy and blessed Thanksgiving up in Gatlinburg, enjoy Paula, may God continue to bless you. Hugs from southern TN.

[@sheliamiller3185]

Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

[@jenniferestes5293]

I used to HATE cranberry sauce. I was just gaining an appreciation for it and really liking the taste when I had a stroke robbing me of my ability to swallow and paralyzing my stomach. I haven't eaten in 4 years and yet I absolutely love watching cooking videos.

[@mamaksstorytime]

That is good that you can still enjoy watching and perhaps experience the flavors through memory.

[@sandrathomas6161]

Great video!! Looks delicious! Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃

[@KonaGal]

My mother's family always had 2 variations of cranberry salad on holidays. One with all those yummy cream cheese, peacan goodies and the other bowl had plain cranberry jelly for the purists . I love cranberries and the leftovers freeze beautifully to be used in smoothies

[@johnniegutierrez2755]

God bless you Paula Deen I love you do you know that I've never had cranberry sauce it's always been there but I've never ate it or tasted itbut I'm cooking for this Thanksgiving I'm making barbecue chicken in the oven macaroni salad stuffy and biscuits and porky beans and whoever's is reading this I wish you the best safe healthy Thanksgiving ever 🎂🥧🌷🏠🌷😇so stay strong stay blessed and never forget Jesus loves you with all his heart 🌷❤️🌷💙🌷🎺👑🎺👑💪🎺👑🎺👑🙏Amen🙏🥧🥧🥧

[@aaronaakre9470]

She sure has changed. Bless her sons for helping her.

[@nikkojones2784]

Hey Doll, huge fan of cranberry sauce...my favorite part of the meal 🤣 As a kid I used to eat the store bought jelly stuff by the can...as an adult I appreciate the real homemade with the texture. During the holidays we make a big batch & bottle it like preserves. Thanks for the wonderful recipe & the beautiful display...y'all have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

[@dylanclark4976]

Cranberry sauce so delicious mmmmm good too happy Thanksgiving Mrs Paula and your family too ❤️ 💕

[@traceyfolkner1741]

I make traditional cranberry sauce except I add orange zest and substitute the water for orange juice. I always make extra to freeze for later.

[@lujuanahastings3310]

I use way more than a tablespoon of Cranberry Sauce!!!!🥰🥰 weren't you saying a bite of Crsnberry sauce with bites of turkey ? I could eat a half can of it with my meal and that's no joke!! One Tbs won't do it!!

[@MarieA787]

My American mother in law always make this and our Puerto Rican family dont eat it 🤣 but you are right Paula Deen its must be there always ❤️

[@lindamymixtap8730]

I remember this recipe from a long time ago Paula, I had my mother try it and she absolutely loved it. I was just going to ask you about this recipe. I haven't made it for so long, and it's your kitchen. Your food. You can lick your fingers if you want. We all do😅❤❤❤

[@jeanjones7486]

As always P.D., You are one of the best chef's ever! Best Dishes and Lots of LOVE right back at you!

[@melanyrunyan7982]

This looks really good! We boil our cranberries in orange juice rather than water.

[@kboyd116]

Cranberry sauce is my favorite dish at Thanksgiving! I eat a lot of it!!!

[@candyferguson4671]

My mom use to put a lettuce leaf down, put a half of canned pear on it and a scoop of your cream cheese mixture on it. It was good! I’ll have to try this

[@deaniemack]

Yummy! I added butter instead of water, smashed em when they popped, and then added diced a diced apple. Soooo delish! It jellied up perfectly ❤️

[@barbarajohnson83]

I use the Ocean Spray Cranberry recipe on the back of the bag and it calls for a cup of sugar to a cup of water and it was so good. Just perfect and not too sweet.

[@jerrykeenan1848]

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks so much!

[@victorial5039]

Looks beautifully delicious Ms.Paula and I cannot wait to fix! Back in the 70’s when I was growing up, my grandmother use to make the same sliced cranberry sauce alternating with the mayo/ cream cheese&nuts dish you mentioned! I had totally forgotten it until you brought it back and awakened my memories! She’s in heaven now so love ya for the warm hug! Happy🧡Thanksgiving to you and the family! Best dishes from MY home to YOURS!🏡🧡🏡

[@kayrackley4698]

Looks so yummy. I would have made this if I had seen it sooner. Maybe next year. Happy Thanksgiving

[@lindatalmadge9684]

Beautiful!Happy Thanksgiving

[@SteelGoom]

Looks amazing . I love Paula dean. Definitely making this

[@emiliagarcia6868]

Hi Paula 😀 Love cranberry sauce, love the way you fixed it , I'm going to have to try it that way, I usually buy the jelly and 1can of the whole cranberry sauce and just slice the jelly cranberry sauce and the whole cranberry sauce I add a little bit of crushed pineapple.yum😋

[@NichelleFitch]

That looks like something that would be good with crackers too! Paula said this as soon as I was typing and I agree with her! I’m a total cracker person.

[@anakelly76512]

I can eat a whole can of the jellied cranberry sauce in one sitting.

[@natogan1]

one of my favorite things is cranberry jelly with peanut butter on bread fried with butter

[@darlenenichols9658]

Love that idea.. Sooo festive,and I'll bet very yummy.. Happy holidays to y'all..🦃🦃🎀🎄🎀⛄🎅

[@maureendurbin1290]

Looks good Paula but I would use Cool Whip with the cream cheese instead if mayo. I like the idea of the trifle. The kids may eat it that way. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Hugs and prayers.😊🙏🍗

[@navaleah8663]

I don't get people's problem with cranberry sauce. We always served both jellied and chunky and was lucky to have a spoonful leftover. Each year we'd make more and still wouldn't have any left. And it's incredibly good for you. Cranberries are called bounce berries and should always be bounced to make sure they're ripe. Maybe that's where people go wrong when they make it. Every year, usually a man in the family, will take the berries and gather the kids to bounce the berries. Also do a bit of math with them, having them count the number of berries in the recipe, measuring the berries, counting how many the chickens get that didn't bounce, what percentage was ripe and so on. They always have a good time with it. Of course, sometimes they pelt each other with the unripe berries, but that's fun too.

[@lindagilbert6888]

Happy thanksgiving y’all

[@patriciahubbard1553]

Hello Paula and family yes, I did enjoy watching the video❤⭐️🙏👍

[@catherinekeehn2773]

This is my cheat! I use fresh cranberries and a jar of orange marmalade and a medium apple small diced. Cook till all mixed and mushed together!

[@annwickham4332]

That looks soooooo good. Love cranberry sauce

[@michellpapayani4643]

❤ thank you for the recipe. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your crew and everybody else question Paula what do you think if instead of mayonnaise, sour cream,

[@bkj2508]

I just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Will watch later. Not feeling up to par today. Love ya all!

[@marysewitsky4823]

I love cranberry sauce all year long

[@taketwo7166]

I love you Paula you are the best , Thank you for sharing . God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving

[@tammiemiller8272]

Looks delicious thanks for sharing Happy Thanksgiving 💜💟💜

[@jt.s.7418]

I would eat this up😋. I eat Cranberry sauce, mayo and turkey sandwiches twice a day until the turkey is gone🥲

[@mjstra]

Cranberry Relish is so good!

[@lujuanahastings3310]

I want to taste the Cranberry Sauce without all that other stuff.

[@juliab628]

Me too. My new favorite cranberry sauce recipe is just cranberries sugar and believe it or not some frozen strawberries stirred in at the end. It really tastes more like a tart Jam and it is very good on biscuits or toast when you have some left over. I definitely eat more than a tablespoon! But I'm not a meat eater so I do not care for turkey but instead I enjoy the cranberry sauce with rolls and all of the yummy side dishes.

[@maralkeeton3953]

Happy thanksgiving, Paula Theresa and Eddie.

[@debbieosborn9464]

Looks beautiful and delicious!

[@joanndeland7969]

When l cook my fresh cranberries l add orange marmalade to save time .AND it's delicious 😋

[@wendydavis2509]

How much cranberries would you use? How much marmalade would you use? I’m sorry to have such a stupid question but I’ve had a stroke and I’m trying to relearn how to cook again.

[@lindamills9444]

I love my cranberry sauce!

[@karenstephens8788]

I’m making this next year.

[@grammyb3548]

Open the can, grab a spoon.....I'm good 😉💜

[@Sarah-zg5qs]

You can make your own jellied cranberry sauce. Cranberries have their own pectin. Take a bag of cranberries and put them in a pot add a 3/4 c orange juice and the zest of 1 orange cook it until it starts to thicken, about 15-20 min or so. . Put in a jar or some container you have and it will jelly up as it cools. as it cools you can cut up an orange in small slices, and apples and nuts and put it in your cranberries and stir them in. Add enough sugar to your own taste

[@tedshepsky5591]

To the whole cranberries, sugar and water, I add a can of mandarin oranges and cinnamon. Pretty tasty 😋

[@brendah4773]

I get my bird on that plate….. then a big dollop of CB sauce on top! 🤣❤️🥰🦃

[@charlottedixon6628]

Just give me a can of whole berry cranberry sauce...im happy. 💗

[@taowright]

Me too!

[@taowright]

Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce in the shape of the can all the way!

[@lindaweaver8131]

Do you prefer the Hellman's mayo to Blue Plate?

[@beckyowen948]

Is it possible to freeze fresh cranberry sauce?

[@TM-nu5vd]

Great idea!

[@armymom128]

I would love to use this recipe! But i do not have a dish like Ms Paula so gonna have to figure out what dish i can use….

[@josephaguilar6928]

HI Paula I hope your Thanksgiving was great 👍

[@lindamills9444]

I will make this ,so pretty.

[@katherynshiflet5391]

YUMMY!!!

[@morgancalvi6675]

I think you should alternate jelly roll with home made cranberry sauce.

[@jamesgreer3953]

Hey Caroline here. Paula what if you make a no bake pie (cranberry cheesecake) would it work? What would be a real good crust and different? Oh what a good thought.

[@mamaksstorytime]

That would be good with a shortbread crust.

[@juliab628]

My new favorite cranberry sauce recipe: 2 cups cranberries, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, 10 Oz frozen or fresh sliced strawberries, 2 tbs tapioca ( to thicken ). This makes what tastes like a yummy tart Jam and it's so good left over on biscuits or toast. Our family wasn't crazy about cranberry sauce until I discovered this recipe which seemed much more palate pleasing. You can put in a little more sugar if you want it to be less tart

[@bonniebrown6960]

Yeah, I've heard of people using strawberries or strawberry jello to thier cranberry sauce. I bet that is good. Cuts some of that bitter taste. Cranberries are good for you too. I wouldn't eat when I was growing up, but I like it now. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!! 😊

[@juliab628]

@@bonniebrown6960 I had not heard of the strawberry until I found this recipe and that is a good way to put it it does cut some of the bitter taste! I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving as well!

[@lukec.9819]

Too funny your Ain't Peggy "jest" moment!! Hope she's doing well!! Happy Thanksgiving ❤

[@navaleah8663]

Sometimes we put jalapenos in cranberry sauce.

Good morning Paula

[@JanetCarfaro-Heinzer]

I love this, but I’d add hot honey to the cream cheese

[@debragarrison7326]

She said u can make this a couple of days ahead.

[@debbiebagwill4288]

I would try it, my hubby would say only Jellied…🤔🤔🤔🤔he has to have cranberry sauce with dressing….

[@MsJoybird1]

Paula looks like she is sick today! I pray she is okay!

Cranberries are good for you... people should probably eat more.....

Can you make this a day ahead

Definitely

[@edithhatter7903]

Haha still watching where she said you can make ahead of time.. 😂... Love Paula Deen.. ty

[@michellpapayani4643]

Looks delicious thank you for the recipe. I wonder how it will that taste instead of mayonnaise, sour cream happy Thanksgiving to you and your crew and everybody else😊

[@SarahR5338]

wtf kind of abomination is this? Mayo AND cream cheese with CRANBERRIES??

[@wilmaburrgooch981]

I like little cranberry sauce with dinner. Pesticides off of oranges just soaking vinegar.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Drats...my comment went to cyberspace. Anyway, I mentioned my mom did make me Oceanspray with a slice of cream cheese. My beau eats jelly with cream cheese...he's from NY though...so I'm not sure it's a Southern thing. People don't eat more than a tablespoon because, in my opinion, they don't like home made...but the canned...they are just snooty about it. The can slice is more than a table spoon. Anyway, please go back to putting 'Love and Best Dishes before these videos because I missed a bunch of them thinking they were older ones.

[@andreamills2638]

I make mine in a blender with a orange and apple no cooking at all

[@koolblue6927]

Stop licking your fingers while cooking. Happy Thanksgiving

[@judyblasdell3761]

🫣those glasses.

[@dcn9550]

Please stop licking your fingers. Okay for family, but not for video.

[@lizlarsen1653]

I can’t watch someone prepare food who keeps licking their fingers. Finger in mouth and then finger on food, and this dish isn’t going into the oven to kill the germs. Disgusting.

[@bwcasas]

Are you aware that you keep licking your fingers than put them in the food?

[@KonaGal]

We've been watching Paula on cooking channel decades and she is like me, we are finger and bowl lickers.. never wasting anything 😋 yummy

[@nigella4me]

I have to admit, that kinda grosses me out. I don't even do that with food I cook for just myself. But, that's Paula and how she does it. I love her anyway.

[@Silja-audiolibros]

It's for her family/friends. I'm sure they're aware of it AND IT'S PERFECTLY FINE in THEIR home. You do you and Paula will do her 😉💕

[@sherryhale2447]

It's gross

[@angelawilson3144]

I noticed that too.... just nasty!

[@morgancalvi6675]

How come you don't put 'Love and Best Dishes'? I have missed tons of videos?
