I have a passion for homemade cranberry sauce. It’s simple. It’s fresh. It’s beautiful. Cranberry sauce is the easiest dish you will ever make. EVER. If you can boil water, you can make homemade cranberry sauce! This cranberry sauce has a little twist on the same-old. Apple Spice Cranberry Sauce will make your kitchen smell like you’ve officially stepped into the holiday season.
The best part about cranberry sauce? You can make it RIGHT NOW and store it in your fridge until Thanksgiving. Think about it. It’s just like jam, without the pectin. Sugar, water, fruit. Boil it up and it will keep for weeks.
Seriously. If you have never made a dish to contribute to the Thanksgiving feast, call or text your mother in law and tell her you’re bringing fresh cranberry sauce. Go buy yourself a nice bowl or two and make one or more of these recipes. Basic Fresh Cranberry Sauce, Fresh Cranberry, Orange and Dried Cherry Sauce, Cranberry Raspberry Sauce.
Then sit back and prepare to become the new favorite daughter in law.
