And they are all super simple to make. Serve with your holiday turkey, but don’t overlook serving alongside your weeknight roast chicken!

Spiced Citrus Cranberry Sauce

This Spiced Citrus Cranberry Sauce version is our “basic” cranberry sauce, and takes advantage of the fact that many fresh cranberries are packaged in 12-ounce (340 g) bags in the U.S. This sauce keeps for weeks in the refrigerator so consider doubling the recipe; it doesn’t really take any longer to make. Get the recipe.

Raw Cranberry Orange Relish

This is a spiced Raw Cranberry Orange Relish made with fresh cranberries, orange zest and pulp, pineapple and honey and spiced with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves. It makes a great compliment to cooked cranberry sauces (why not have two?) and we love it with poultry and pork, especially. Get the recipe.

Brown Sugar 5-Spice Cranberry Sauce is super-easy to make (dump, mix and cook) and features red wine and a 5-spice blend. The first time we made this we served it with duck and it was truly delicious. Great with turkey, and even chicken. Get the recipe.

This Ginger Cranberry Sauce with Tangerines is for those who love eating a whole orange, such as in orange marmalade. Here, the recipe begins by cooking the whole tangerine slices in sugar, juice and water until tender, then the cranberries and ginger are added at the end of cooking. Get the recipe.

Savory Cranberry Sauce
