How to make the spicy cranberry sauce
Spicy cranberry sauce is an easy way to add some heat to your holiday meal. This recipe uses canned organic jellied cranberry sauce, but you can also make your own (see our other recipe for Cranberry Sauce).
The key to this recipe is chicken stock. The chicken stock adds a rich flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweet tang of jellied cranberry sauce. This can be made from scratch or using store-bought chicken stock. And if you don’t have homemade chicken stock or store-bought, mix chicken bouillon seasoning with hot water – there’s no huge difference in taste.

Ingredients you will need
- Canned Organic Jellied Cranberry Sauce: I usually purchase organic because the store brand I get does not contain any corn syrup and it is low in sugar.
- Chicken stock: a versatile ingredient that is a great help when cooking. If you cannot make your own, try to always purchase low sodium chicken stock – same taste and will let sodium.
- NouBess Original Hot and Spicy Sauce: you can purchase it on NouBess.com. This sauce is very versatile. You can use it to season your meat, fish, and poultry. It is very hot and spicy and is a great way to enhance the flavor of your food.
