How to Make Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups apple juice, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground allspice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Add 12 ounces (about 4 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries to the boiling mixture.
  4. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 12-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely to room temperature. For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially puree before cooling. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken further. Serve chilled.
