Most cranberry sauces are made from buying a can and then heating it up in the microwave or on the stove, but this recipe is a simple and delicious way to make a sweeter and fresher sauce. You can also use this sauce days after the Thanksgiving meal on top of your turkey sandwiches, toast, and even in making peanut butter sandwiches.
