Cranberry sauce is a deliciously sweet and tangy addition to a Thanksgiving Meal. Here is a simple recipe that I am sure you and your family will enjoy this Holiday season.
Place 3/4 of your fresh or frozen cranberries in a medium saucepan {reserve 1/4 to the side}. Turn heat on medium heat. Then, add orange zest by simply grating the peel right over your cranberries. This gives the sauce a stronger “citrusy” flavor.
Add water sugar and cinnamon – let simmer for about 15 mins {stirring frequently} until cranberries start to open and liquify. Add your reserved cranberries and stir. You’ll have a delicious flavor and a mix of textures.
