In My Kitchen: Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Even though Thanksgiving is over, there’s no reason to forget about cranberries! They’re in season and oh-so-delicious. I grabbed a bag of Ocean Spray cranberries at Ralph’s because they were on sale. But then when I got home I realized I had NO IDEA what to even do with cranberries!

Luckily, the back of the bag lists a super-easy recipe for homemade cranberry sauce. And as anyone who knows me is well aware, I can eat can after can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce – and love every minute of it. Thus, making my own seemed like a super fun idea!

 

You can do it too – you’ll feel so much more accomplished than when you simply open a can of the stuff and it’s fun to make.
