How to Make Easy Cranberry Sauce Microwave
- Combine 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries, 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a 3-quart microwave-safe bowl.
- Mix thoroughly to ensure all cranberries are coated.
- Cover the bowl with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a vented lid (to prevent splattering).
- Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
- Stir well, ensuring cranberries are evenly distributed.
- Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until most of the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (this will typically take another 7-10 minutes total).
- Remove from microwave and let stand, covered, for at least 15 minutes to allow the sauce to cool and thicken further.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to fully set.
