I made your cranberries for Thanksgiving, and we all loved them – the whole pan disappeared, and there were none for leftovers….So, I ran to the grocery first thing this morning, and whipped up another batch for turkey sandwiches this week!

Hi Sierra: Yes, if you’ll have a lot of cranberry lovers, I would double it. I’m only having 8 people, many of whom will only take a small spoonful (if any) cranberries, so I stuck with a single batch. And I would recommend using a bigger pan with sides at least a couple inches high or even two separate 9×13 inch pans. Many commenters on Epicurious noted a bubble-over problem in the oven (which I did not have). Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!

3 cups doesn’t sound like much…we’ll have 13 people at thanksgiving, do you think it should be doubled? also, if i do double it, do i need to use a bigger baking pan or can the cranberries be layered in the same size pan?

Kara: It’s the best. And I of course don’t hate you (but I do think you should convince your mom to add this sauce!).

Lindsay: Thank you! And good luck with your own feast, which will be here before you know it, if the sudden appearance of Thanksgiving is any indication.

Dawn: I completely agree! Maybe quarterly? Think of all the bourbon-laced dishes we could make then. (Like we need Thanksgiving as an excuse.)

kate: Wow — that all sounds amazing. I’m particularly intrigued by the yogurt idea. Thanks for the ideas!

MommyAmy: Good luck to you!

Jenn: Thanks! I hope you try this recipe.

Jen: Thank you! Hope you do!

Whitney: I saw your Tweet about the orange/date recipe, which sounds lovely.

Dolce: Ha! Fine, you’re right. : )

ingrid: Not sad! Tradition is tradition.

Rachael: To you too!

I just bought this Bon Appetit at Home Depot! When I saw this recipe, I knew it had to go in my “test recipe” pile. I’m so glad you did a trial run. Looks and sounds amazing. Happy cooking!

I love cranberry sauce both the canned (I know sad) and fresh. I’m going to see if my dear sister in law would like me to bring some as one of my contributions to our family feast.

Thanks for sharing and I’m glad that things are going so well!
