The recipe calls for a 1lb bag. The bags at my store are 12oz. I failed to adjust the math and the sauce is too watery. Will pitch and try again.
Easy and very simple to make. I did add just a touch of sugar to smooth some of the tartness. Love the taste of Orange and the maple syrup. Will definitely make again.
Sounds delicious! but is 1 1 pound bag fresh cranberries o just 1 pound? Thank you!
I was so proud of myself for making this recipe. I made this for Thanksgiving and my family loved it.
