Citrus Spiced Cranberry Sauce
I L-O-V-E cranberry sauce. But not that stuff that comes out of metal jar. Yes, I know they organic cranberry sauce in cans but it is not as good as homemade.
This recipe is super easy to make and can be done two days in advance (I wouldn’t go longer, because we are making fresh cranberry sauce). My citrus spiced cranberry sauce is sure to be a favorite on your table this Thanksgiving!
This cranberry sauce is infused with with orange, cinnamon, nutmeg and topped it with mint for freshness and a nice green garnish.
