Cranberry sauce or cranberry jelly[1] is a sauce or relish made out of cranberries, commonly served as a condiment with Thanksgiving dinner in North America and Christmas dinner in the United Kingdom. There are differences in flavor depending on the geography of where the sauce is made: in Europe it is generally slightly sour-tasting, while in North America it is sweetened.


Cranberry sauce was first offered to consumers in North America in 1912 Hanson, Massachusetts.[2] Canned cranberry sauce appeared on the market in 1941, allowing the product to be sold year-round.[3]


The most basic cranberry sauce consists of cranberries boiled in sugar water until the berries pop and the mixture thickens. Some recipes include other ingredients such as slivered almonds, orange juice, zest, ginger, maple syrup, port, or cinnamon.
