Cranberry sauce is a low-maintenance side and will probably be the easiest thing you make for the Thanksgiving table in my opinion. My mom has been making this cranberry sauce recipe for years now and it’s one of my favorite sides. Some of my other favorite recipes using cranberries include my Cranberry Orange Bread (perfect for breakfast!), Cranberry Bliss Bars (a holiday fave!), and Crockpot Cranberry Meatballs (easy appetizer!). I love that this recipe is the perfect combination of sweet, tart and has a citrusy kick from the orange. I know you guys will love it too!
Cranberries: you can opt for fresh or frozen Sugar: Any granulated white sugar Orange Juice and Zest: freshly squeezed is best. If you purchase some make sure it is pulp free! White Wine: Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay Cinnamon or Cinnamon Stick: 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon, if using Granny Smith Apples: The sweetness of the apples perfectly the tart cranberries! Fresh ginger: some fresh spicy ginger adds a subtle yet wonderful flavor. Chili flakes (optional)
Top on your pancakes or waffles. Add to your morning yogurt bowl or stir into a steaming bowl of oatmeal. Stir or top on your favorite overnight oats. Add it to meatballs for a quick and easy appetizer. Spread it on your grilled cheese or leftover turkey sandwich. Dollop it on top of your favorite cheesecake or pound cake.
