Is there a good store-bought cranberry syrup I could use?

If you don't have time to make your own syrup or want to be able to store it at room temperature, I like u003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://amzn.to/3zV0qm0u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noreferrer noopener nofollowu0022u003eMonin Cranberry Syrupu003c/au003eu003c/strongu003e. Torani is also another popular syrup brand but I've never tried it.

Can I use frozen cranberries?

Yes, you can! You don't have to defrost them either! Just use them the same way as you would fresh cranberries.

Why is my syrup too tart?

Cranberries tend to be very tart so it will take a lot of sugar to make the syrup just sweet and not tart. If you taste the syrup right after cooking and you find it's not sweet enough, stir in 1 or more tablespoons of cane sugar while it's still hot. The sugar will dissolve and make the syrup sweeter. No need to simmer it again.

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 cup water
1 cup cane sugar
1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add water, cane sugar, and cranberries to a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer stirring constantly just until the sugar dissolves.
Lower the heat and simmer the syrup for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Take the saucepan off the heat and let the syrup rest for 10 minutes before straining through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring jar or a bowl. Push on the cranberries a little bit with a spoon to release more of their juices and the syrup.
Pour the syrup into an airtight jar and wait for it to cool before closing with a lid.
Store the syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Jello-like syrup: The more you push on the cranberries when straining through the fine mesh strainer, the more cranberry puree will be in the syrup. This will cause the syrup to have a jello-like consistency, similar to canned cranberry syrup. This isn’t a quality issue, you will just have to stir the syrup every time to make it pourable.

Storing: Store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Store it in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 2-4 months.
