Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce

December 26, 2022

Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce

The perfect balance of tart and sweet, this Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce is fresh and vibrant, with notes of citrus and a beautiful bright colour.

The addition of cherries gives this cranberry sauce a more vibrant pink-ish hue that looks absolutely gorgeous drizzled over holiday dinner. The cherries in this recipe also amp up the fruity taste in this sauce. Once you add cherries to your cranberry sauce you will never go back!

This Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce totally elevates any plant-based holiday meal.

How to Make This Recipe

What should I serve this sauce with?

Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce

Serve this Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce with a homemade vegan holiday feast! The addition of cherries in this sauce really adds a special twist to a traditional turkey meal.

This vibrant sauce tastes delicious drizzled overtop of a juicy homemade plant-based turkey.

Make my Vegan Turkey Roast with Crispy Skin as the centrepiece of a gorgeous vegan holiday meal. The sweetness of my Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce contrasts with the savoury sage and thyme flavours of the Vegan Turkey Roast with Crispy Skin.

Add some steamed green beans and roasted carrots and potatoes as side dishes.

Complete your vegan feast by adding my fluffy Healthy Vegan Drop Biscuits to your holiday feast. Spread on some vegan butter to these biscuits or even drizzle on some of the Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce overtop these freshly baked biscuits.

Don’t forget to make some Easy Vegan Shortbread Cookies for dessert!

Common Questions

Should I use fresh or frozen cranberries and cherries?

Yes! You can use fresh or frozen cranberries and cherries to make this sauce. If using frozen cranberries and cherries, you don’t even have to thaw them out at all beforehand.

While fresh is typically better to use in cooking than frozen, in a cranberry sauce you will get pretty much the same result whether you use fresh or frozen!

How long will this last in the fridge?

Store this sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 10 to 14 days. 

Can I freeze this Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce?

Yes! Store this sauce in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to one month.

Can I make this sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! It’s a great idea to make this recipe a day ahead of time. Make your holiday dinner prep easier by making this sauce the day before.

The flavours in this sauce will mingle and enhance even more after being stored in the refrigerator for a day or so.
