Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce, when done correctly, is one of the BEST complements to a Thanksgiving feast. This recipe is by far my favorite way to make it. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and tart with hints of citrus, cinnamon, and clove. And the best part is that you just add all the ingredients to a baking dish and let the oven do all the work! It takes less than five minutes to prep and you’ll have everyone at your Thanksgiving raving about your dish. I am speaking from experience 😘.
