Expert Tips

Make sauce as directed, adding 2 teaspoons grated orange peel with cranberries.

Be sure to cook the cranberries until they pop in order to release the natural pectin, which thickens the sauce.

    The "Gobble-Gobble cooking has begun! I am ashamed that I never cooked my own Cranberry Sauce before. I have tried other friends and it was always awful. I tasted after it was first cooked but I wanted to tweak it and make it mine. I added 1/8 teaspoon of ginger and while I didn't have an orange to grate, I used a tangerine. (I put a teaspoon of the tangerine juice to tie it in) It is beyond yummy! I even divided the recipe in half because it will be only 2 of us but those extra cranberries will make a special cranberry bread for Thanksgiving breakefast!
