How to Make Oven Baked Whole Cranberry Caramel Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 9x9 inch baking pan, spread 12 ounces (340g) of fresh cranberries in an even layer.
  3. Sprinkle 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar evenly over the cranberries.
  4. Drizzle 1/4 cup (60ml) of caramel sauce over the sugared cranberries.
  5. Cover the baking pan with foil.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cranberries are tender and have burst slightly, stirring gently halfway through.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
