Best Cranberry Sauce Ever by Jannine Gallant

Thanksgiving is almost here, so of course we're all thinking about food. The smell of the turkey roasting in the oven. The gorgeousness of the pumpkin pie waiting on the counter. I love to cook, and I frequently make up my own recipes, so I thought I'd share my family's traditional holiday fare with you. One problem, though...I never measure anything. I make a killer scratch stuffing for that roasting turkey, but it's hard to write down, "Sprinkle (or dump) in a little of this and a little of that, taste, and add more." Not very helpful. There is one dish I have actually put into recipe form. Cranberry sauce. If you are currently eating this with your holiday meal...

...I'm here to save you from yourself. Even if you're dressing it up so it looks like this...

...it still tastes like that can. Trust me on this. For years, I tried different cranberry sauce recipes, looking for one that was perfect. They all failed my taste test, so I gave up and created my own. It's simple to make and extremely tasty. Give it a shot, so your family can have this...

...with your holiday meal, instead!

Cranberry Sauce

12 oz. bag of cranberries, washed
1 1/2 cups peeled, chopped apple

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider

Bring all ingredients to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer 30 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and mash. Cool then chill until serving.

Don't Forget the Cranberry Sauce! by Jannine Gallant

Thanksgiving is almost here. Your turkey is thawing in the refrigerator. The big bag of potatoes is sitting in the pantry, just waiting to be peeled. The pumpkin pie recipe rests front and center on the counter. All that's left to think about is the cranberry sauce. I spent holiday after holiday trying different recipes, never quite satisfied with the taste. So, I started combining and creating and concocting until I finally came up with a version that suited me. Happily, it's super easy to prepare! I hope you enjoy my recipe and have a splendid holiday with your family.
