It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving for me without homemade cranberry sauce or relish. It’s so simple to make and it tastes so good. When I’m starting my cooking for the holiday I love to make the cranberry sauce first , because it takes just a few minutes and I can look at my list of dishes to prepare and within minutes – cranberry relish – check and done!

From by the bay, wishing you citrus cranberry food memories!
