Cranberries are one of only three commercially cultivated fruits native to North America. A standard can of cranberry sauce typically contains just a few core ingredients, mainly cranberries, water, and corn syrup, though variations exist between different brands and styles.

According to USDA standards, canned cranberry sauce is composed of clean, sound cranberries, a sweetening ingredient, and water, with a required soluble solids content. This basic recipe, which is the foundation of what is in canned jellied cranberry sauce, has made it a holiday tradition for generations.
