I made this for Xmas (doubled it) and it was almost perfect! For some reason it did not "jell" up as much as I had hoped and it was a little too tart, maybe from the OJ. I did buy very good OJ for it. I will never buy canned sauce ever again. This was simple, fun to make and could be made well in advance. My kids really liked watching the berries pop. I'll make this any time I need cranberry sauce, but I'll do the 1/2 water 1/2 OJ and add maybe a tablespoon more of sugar.

Thanks Karen, Our daughter made this dish for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a real hit. The contrast between the tangy and sweet taste was perfect. This recipe is one that becomes better after a couple of days and for that reason it could be prepared ahead of time.

Really tasty. We ended up using a lower quality orange juice which left a slightly tangy taste to it. I will try again with either fresh juice or better quality. We also didn't chill quite long enough I think but the overall taste was pretty good. Thanks Karen for another wonderful recipe.
