Notes
Tips & Tricks
Cranberry sauce goes great with most meats not just turkey, I love it with pork chops on a bed of salad.
Cranberry sauce should be served at room temperature, its best to get the sauce out of the fridge a couple of hours before dinner is served.
If your big on planning you can prepare and freeze your homemade cranberry sauce long before Christmas or thanksgiving and just defrost it the night before your family dinner.
