A wonderful combination of cranberries, apple and just a hint of orange make this cranberry sauce delightful! This recipe comes from Jay Lynne Stuart on Allrecipes, and it’s our family’s favorite!

For this recipe, I used my 2-qt. (1.9-L) Nonstick Sauce Pan and, once it was chilled, my

1-qt. Insulated Serving Bowl.  

2-qt. (1.9-L) Nonstick Sauce Pan

A Small Saucepan for Every Kitchen

This 2-qt. (2-L) sauce pan will be your go-to for sauces, melting butter, and reheating soup. The lid has straining holes, so you can use it to drain fat and liquids without dirtying a separate colander. And the pour spout will help you keep your stove, counters, and table drip-free. The high-quality nonstick coating means even gooey, cheesy sauces won’t stick. And when you’re done cooking, pop it in the dishwasher for hassle-free cleanup.

About Brilliance Nonstick Cookware

Brilliance cookware is where design and performance meet: It’s top-notch cookware with the performance you expect from Pampered Chef, plus the gorgeous design you want in your kitchen. Like your favorite pair of blue jeans, this cookware will never go out of style.

1-qt. Insulated Serving Bowl

Despite all the best planning, getting an entire meal on the table that’s served warm can feel impossible. With an insulated serving bowl, you can keep food warm up to 2 hours on your holiday table or during mealtimes. The 1-qt. (1-L) capacity is perfect for serving sauces, gravies, or hot dips like Spinach & Artichoke Dip or BBQ Chicken Dip.

The clear plastic lid is double-walled and lets you see what’s inside. The lid also hooks onto the side of the bowl, making it easier to dish out and serve food. The bowl’s double-walled vacuum insulation keeps food hot, prevents sweating, and has a stay-cool exterior. Works with cold foods, too!

Let’s jump right in!
