6 Fresh, New Takes on Cranberry Sauce That Go Beyond the Can
Say goodbye to boring cranberry sauce.
When it comes to cranberry sauce, I need it to not slurp out of a can. I do enjoy the symmetry of canned, jellied cranberry sauce, but I love being able to add in special flavors of my own, like orange peel, honey and cinnamon sticks when I make it from scratch. Who needs dessert when you have homemade cranberry sauce? Plus, it's perfect to top on leftover mashed-potato pancakes all weekend long.
Ready to go beyond the can? Check out my favorite cranberry sauce recipes that are super easy and super delicious. Your holiday guests will thank you.
