There’s no good substitute for homemade Cranberry Sauce.
If you don’t feel cranberry sauce is an MVP on your holiday plate than I’d argue you’re not making it right, or maybe you haven’t enjoyed the bliss that homemade cranberry sauce is (especially compared to awful canned varieties).
If you’re looking for a classic Cranberry Sauce recipe, this is it! We use fresh cranberries, orange and apple for flavor and texture and it comes together fast. It’s my favorite way to elevate Thanksgiving Turkey. Be sure to save leftovers for topping on homemade rolls, with leftover turkey, for the best sandwich ever.
