What is the name of the sauce made from cranberries?

The sauce made from cranberries is cranberry sauce.

Cranberry sauce is prepared by cooking cranberries with sugar and water until the berries burst and the mixture thickens. Some versions add orange juice or zest, cinnamon, maple syrup, ginger, or port. It may be served loose like a relish or molded into a firm jelly.

The dish became strongly associated with Thanksgiving because cranberries are native to North America and pair well with roast turkey. Amelia Simmons’s 1796 cookbook, American Cookery, is the first known American cookbook to mention cranberries as a companion to turkey, although it did not provide a specific sauce recipe.

Cranberry sauce was probably not served at the 1621 Plymouth feast: primary accounts do not mention it, and refined sugar was scarce. Commercial cranberry sauce appeared in 1912, while canned versions were marketed nationally beginning in 1941.
