I enjoy cranberries but sometimes they can be quite tart. That is why I really like this cranberry sauce with raspberry fruit in it because it cuts the tartness just enough. You end up with a beautiful combination of tart and sweet all at the same time.

When I first developed this recipe, it was for a big Thanksgiving dinner I was hosting. My family enjoyed it so much that afterwards, I began to make this cranberry raspberry sauce throughout the year.

This cranberry sauce is great to have on hand year round, kind of like a jam or jelly. Plus I make it with monkfruit instead of sugar so the recipe is healthy and won’t spike your blood sugar as readily as a regular sugar filled cranberry relish.

Cranberry Sauce For Any Occasion

You can put this cranberry sauce with raspberries on so many things. If you are going to make it for a holiday meal, then it is very good on top of traditional Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing or potatoes.

You can also dollop a few tablespoons on top of vanilla ice cream, brownies, or cookies for dessert.

Throughout the year I most often will put it on top of freshly made steel cut oats, topped with plant-based milk, chopped nuts and seeds, and a few tablespoons of flax or hemp seeds. This makes for a delicious, warm, comforting, nutritious breakfast.

Doug, my guy with Parkinson’s, put this cranberry sauce on everything. He makes toast and uses this cranberry raspberry sauce as a jam. He puts some on homemade banana or pumpkin muffins. Actually I’ve seen him put it on the majority of his morning baked goods! It’s the perfect breakfast, lunch, or dinner topping.

Recipe Tips

If you do not own an Instant Pot, you can easily bake this cranberry sauce in the oven.

Just preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and then bake the cranberry sauce for approximately 15-20min or until mixture begins to bubble. Stir once about half-way through the cooking process, and you will be good to go.

Notes About This Recipe

You can use fresh or frozen cranberries and raspberries for this recipe. Either way works just fine.

Using the Grand Marnier is optional. I like to add just a bit, as it cuts the tartness, but if you prefer not to use it that is perfectly fine too.

You can use pure cane sugar (white sugar) instead of monkfruit if you prefer. If you do choose to use white sugar, I recommend looking for organic. The sugar cane crop is a highly pesticide sprayed crop so using organic sugar will, if not save you from calories, at least help you reduce your chemical exposure.
