Here’s a new cranberry sauce recipe to try for your holiday dinner: Sherry Triple Berry Cranberry Sauce.
This cranberry sauce recipe has three types of berries in it: blueberries, raspberries and cranberries. The mix of all three of them simmered down into a beautiful sauce was the most delicious idea ever. Three sweet-tart tastes all in one. The flavor of the sauce has been enhanced by the addition of sherry cooking wine. You won’t find an overwhelmingly strong sherry flavor in this cranberry sauce- it just gives the sauce a flavor boost.
This homemade cranberry sauce recipe takes all of about 15 minutes total to make. The berries are combined in a saucepan, sherry is poured on top. Sugar, orange zest, orange juice, water and cinnamon are added last.
Cranberry sauce is so easy to make… just simmer on the stove until the berries break down and the sauce begins to thicken.
When I met my husband, I remember him telling me how much he loved cranberry sauce (the gelatinous blob from the can, of course). For many years, he wouldn’t be adventurous enough to eat my homemade cranberry sauce. “Too chunky,” he complained.
Fortunately, he has gotten over that silliness. Homemade cranberry sauce doesn’t last more than a day or two in my house now!
The addition of sherry adds robust flavor to this sauce. The Holland House Cooking Wines are all ideal for cooking. There is 1 teaspoon of salt per cup in their cooking wines to make it stable for long shelf life in your pantry (so if there is salt called for in your recipe, you can reduce the amount of added salt in your recipe). Most table wines will cook away during the cooking process. The rich flavor of Holland House Cooking Wines makes them ideal for standing the heat during the cooking process and allowing the flavor of the wines to shine through.
This is a great recipe to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Let me know if you try it, and use it up in turkey sandwich leftovers!

My MIL is visiting so I need to have cranberry sauce on the table. Your berry version looks spectacular—I’ve found my holiday recipe!!!
Raspberries and blueberries in cranberry sauce?! I think you’ve stolen my heart.
I have never had cranberry sauce with any other berries in it before. I kind love the idea. This looks wonderful.
This is so pretty Lori! My turkey baste uses sherry, it’ll complement it perfectly.
That’s so funny about your husband! Does he dislike the canned stuff now? Because after trying homemade cranberry sauce, I can never go back.
I’ve never tried adding other berries to my sauce but I love the idea! The added sherry sounds delicious, too.
I love the idea of three berries in the cranberry sauce, I bet the flavors are wonderful. I’m bookmarking this recipe to make for my family this Thanksgiving, what a great alternative to our traditional cranberry sauce.
This sauce looks like dessert! I love all the flavors and adding cooking wine is just so smart!
I never thought of adding cooking wine to my cranberry sauce…what a great idea, probably adds a lot of mouthfeel too.
3 types of berries AND Sherry!! This is so going on our Thanksgiving menu!!
Love the addition of sherry! And I just so happen to have a bottle of that Holland House Sherry Cooking Wine on hand – I think I might have to make *one more* version of cranberry sauce this year. 😉 Thanks for linking to my cinnamon apple cranberry sauce!
