If you’ve never made homemade cranberry sauce because you thought it was too complicated to make, I am going to show you just how easy it is. Not only is this recipe easy, it is amazing! I love this sauce because it is not overly sweet and the combination of cranberry and orange give it a nice tang. The color of the sauce itself is so vibrant compared to its canned counterpart -one cannot even put them in the same category.
Trust me after you try this sauce, you will never ever buy canned again. Be prepared when friends and family “Ooooh and Awwww” over the mere fact you made homemade cranberry sauce. They will call you “Martha” and hate you for it. But that’s okay.. you’re secret is safe with me – I won’t tell how you didn’t slave over making this. In all honesty, if the world only knew how flippin’ easy this was.. no one would ever buy canned again! [click to continue…]
