About the Recipe

Please don't settle for the canned variety shaped like a miniature 55-gallon drum.  Your cranberry sauce can be so much better, and it is easy to make.

Let's dive into this easy dish that can be made days ahead of time. You can also vacuum seal it and keep it in the freezer for months.

Variations

You can add other flavorings such as the zest of a lemon or an orange, cloves, or even a shot of brandy or cognac. Play with some seasonal flavorings and see what you get.
