Step away from the canned cranberry sauce. There is no glory in using a can-opener as a prepping tool. Making cranberry sauce from scratch is insanely easy, it’s crazy people don’t make it at home! All it takes is 4 ingredients and a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner guest that eats the stuff. In our home that person is me. I love the combination of sweet and savoury, while James hates the idea. That is fine, more for me!
I hope you and your family enjoy is super simple cranberry sauce recipe and have yourselves a very happy holiday!
