"This goes back a long time, and I still make it to serve with a turkey dinner. It is one of my favorite cranberry recipes, and is always enjoyed by everyone. Serve this at your holiday dinner table and you will receive rave reviews! You can make this up to a week in advance.... this has the perfect balance of sweet and tart with the the right texture! No need to double the recipe this makes close to 6 cups, plan ahead the sauce needs to chill for 24 hours before using and you may omit the walnuts if desired"

- Place the liquid in a saucepan.
- Add in cranberries and sugar.
- Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Continue to boil until most of the berries pop (you might want to keep a splatter screen or a lid over until the berries are finished popping) and the mixture is thick, stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes) remove from heat.

- Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
- Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Great recipe. The only modifications I made we're to add a bit of orange jest and squeeze in about a teaspoon of juice from the orange and as I was out of cloves I sprinkled in apx 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. I will be returning to this recipe again and again!

Yum yum! I took the liberty of making a few tweaks to this lovely recipe. For the pineapple juice, I blended 1 and 1/2 cups of pine apple chuncks with 1 cup of apple cider. I put a small cinnamon stick in the liquid while it boiled and used nutmeg instead of cloves. I didn't want the walnut to take over so I used half of what was recommended and chopped it very fine. Yum Yum. Thanks!!!

The best recipe! The only changes I made were no nuts, and I blended it all up after. Wonderful!!

I have made this recipe a number of times. The first time, I used 1 cup of honey in place of the sugar and omitted the walnuts. I found that the cranberry and pineapple flavors got lost in the taste of clove.<br/><br/>I have made it since several time since then, using only a pinch of clove powder. I like this much better. The clove does add something, but the flavor of the cranberry and pineapple shine through. I have found that 1/2 the recipe makes more than enough for our turkey dinners.<br/><br/>Thanks for this recipe.

My family traditionally eats the canned stuff for Thanksgiving. As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew it would be the one that would change (at least some of) their minds. I split the batch in two and only added the nuts (I used pecans instead of walnuts) to half, just in case some people don't like nuts. The one with the pecans was the favorite by far. I like the subtle hint of clove you get in each bite. The texture was perfect, the flavor was great and it was SUPER easy to make.
