We’ve tried to settle down a bit as far as how much food we fix for Thanksgiving each year. Our family is growing but we’re trying to keep things simple around the holidays when it comes to meals because the older we get the more we want to relax and just enjoy time with our family members.
However, some dishes like this Pineapple Orange Cranberry Sauce Recipe will be made every year, no matter what!
What you need to make this Pineapple Orange Cranberry Sauce Recipe:
- whole-berry cranberry sauce
- mandarin oranges, well drained
- crushed pineapple, well drained
- chopped pecans, toasted
It’s super easy because of the cans!
This is really a dump and go Thanksgiving day recipe. It’s one of the fastest if not THE fastest recipe that I make each year. This cranberry sauce is so quick because it’s made with canned fruit.
However, I have found a few recipes online for Homemade whole cranberry sauce that I bet would work great for this recipe if you wanted to try that out.
Can I use Jellied Cranberry Sauce?
You can use Jellied Cranberry Sauce for this recipe BUT it’s not going to be quite as thick as it would be with the whole cranberry sauce. It’ll be more like jelly sauce with some bits of pineapple and orange.
Can I leave the pecans out?
You sure can! We don’t have any nut allergies in our immediate family so I like to add them in but you could totally leave them out if you needed to.
This Pineapple Orange Cranberry Sauce Recipe is an old recipe from the blog but I re did the photos and I wanted to go ahead and get them uploaded. The old photos looked awful and I’m pretty happy with how these turned out.
I learned to make this at a Taste of Home Cooking School quite a few years ago and it’s so good. I was never into Cranberry Sauce until I made this. Give it a try, I bet you’ll love it!!

I love to see what your cooking from the blog!
Yes!! Love this! I always think cranberry sauce needs a little something extra. Pinned and sharing. Gorgeous new photos btw 😉
With pineapple – oh, that sounds delicious!
I love the addition of pineapple to this cranberry sauce – so different (and delicious!)
I absolutely LOVE that you added pineapple! I am the same, I have so many more recipes to publish before Thanksgiving! UGH! I am pinning this recipe, love it!
This sounds awesome! I’ve never been a big cranberry sauce fan either so I’ll definitely have to try this!
I’ve got a bunch of old photos like that too from my earlier days and thank God for improvement right? These updated photos look spectacular!
You know I cannot believe how November has flown by, I swear the holidays come faster every year! I’d eat this cranberry sauce all year long; the flavors are incredible!
This sounds incredibly delicious! I’m adding it to my menu for Thanksgiving. And retaking photos of old posts is something I really, really need to do! Some of my very first ones are just embarrassing 🙂
I love the addition of pineapple to sweeten a tart dish.
I love trying new cranberry sauce recipes every year and I really like the idea of adding pineapple! It looks almost like a chutney. So delicious!
I’d love to try this – mandarins and pineapple with the cranberries sound like a deeeelicious combo. And the pecans! Added to my must-try list.
Isn’t it fun to update photos and see how far you’ve come? I’ve got some that I’ve been meaning to update too. I love the addition of pineapple and orange in this cranberry sauce! Such a delicious twist on the classic!
This is so different! I love this idea for a cranberry sauce! The pecans are what really get me. 🙂
I love that you included the old photo. 😀 You’ve come so far!
And I’m right there with you. I had all these ideas for Thanksgiving posts and there’s just never enough time. The sauce looks great, too! Love the pineapple.
I can’t believe that we are only a few days away from Thanksgiving, so crazy!! I love remaking old recipes, this is such a great sounding one, I am sure it wasn’t a stretch to photograph it again 🙂
I know, right? Where DID November go!! This sauce sounds like a such a fabulous change of pace. Your old photo is good, too but you have definitely improved your photography big time! I love looking at before/after stuff haha 🙂
Now THIS is a delicious twist on cranberry sauce! I’m loving these bright flavors!
I love this take on traditional cranberry sauce. Plus your photography looks fabulous. Not that the old dish didn’t look nice but these new pics really help the recipe shine 🙂
This looks very similar to what I made a long time ago.
It was a bog hit. I seem to remember adding a few spices though. What do you suggest ?
Hi Catherine!
I don’t add any spices but if you wanted to add some I would try a few dashes of cinnamon and allspice!
I did this for Thanksgiving the last 2 years. It’s super delicious. I have a rotisserie chicken and I’m making it to go with that today, and it June. I think it’ll be a refreshing addition! Great photo!
Thank you so much!!
I love this recepie my brother shared it with me a few years back. I still make it for thanksgiving day or morning after with bread yummy
