What goes in the quick blend
Start with about 2 cups fresh cranberries. Rinse them, pick out soft or stemmed berries, and keep them dry for a thick blend.
Add sweetener and citrus to balance tart fruit. Blendtec documents a raw dairy-free, nut-free, and gluten-free sauce from about 2 cups fresh cranberries blended about 35 seconds in its raw cranberry sauce method.

Why does it need no gelatin
Cranberries carry natural pectin. Brian Williams Science explains that boiling releases pectin that gels the sauce as it cools, with skins popping after about 1 minute in its cranberry pectin guide. The raw minute blend takes a different path.
It skips heat and relies on fine blending, so it stays spoonable rather than firm-sliced. Use the cooked style when you want classic whole-berry gel. Ocean Spray uses one 12-ounce package plus sugar and water for that set, while the raw cup suits vegan guests avoiding animal gelatin.
How far ahead can you make it
Make the raw blend on serving day for best texture. Keep any serving bowl small and refill from the fridge during long meals.
For leftovers, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service advises refrigerating perishable foods within 2 hours and using cooked leftovers within 3–4 days in its holiday food safety calculator. Covered homemade cranberry sauce can keep up to 10 days refrigerated or 3 months frozen.
