Yum! This was easy to make and so much better than the stuff from a can. I loved the addition of pineapple. Thanks for posting this recipe, it was a great addition to our Thanks giving dinner :)

Very, very good! My family would only agree to try it if I would keep the canned cranberry sauce on the table, but nobody ate it after trying this sauce! I used 3/4 cup orange juice and 3/4 cup sugar. I did not use the cinnamon-maybe next time I will give it a try!
