FRESH CRANBERRY SAUCE

Homemade Cranberry sauce is so much better than anything you can find at the store, and this recipe is an absolute favorite in our house. Growing up, we used to crack open a can of that jelly stuff at Thanksgiving. I have memories of only a couple people touching it, usually the older folks, but that wiggly cylinder shaped cranberry sauce in a can remained mostly untouched. I can’t remember when we first started making our own homemade fresh cranberry sauce with orange juice, but if you’ve never done it, boy are you in for a treat. This is the best cranberry sauce recipe out there.

Starting the first day in November, people go on the hunt for cranberry sauce recipes for Thanksgiving. Each fall, I am overjoyed the moment I see that fresh cranberries are available. Now, if you’re thinking that you don’t need one more thing to worry about on Thanksgiving day, let me tell you that this really is easy cranberry sauce. You can easily prepare your homemade cranberry sauce a day or two in advance so that you have one less pot to clean on the day of. And, yes, all you really need to make this recipe is a saucepan, measuring cups, and a spoon.
