Homemade Cranberry Sauce

I love November!  I have a bit of a cranberry obsession.  The moment I see the first bags of fresh cranberries arrive at the grocery store, I buy a few.  And at the end of November I buy several bags and freeze them.

What can I say, I love that tart-sweet combo!  {pssst … expect a few more delicious cranberry recipes this month}

Every year I make a Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce Recipe with a new flavor combination.  There has been Apple Cranberry Sauce, Cherry Cranberry Sauce and now Orange Ginger Cranberry Sauce.

This Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce Recipe will be a fantastic addition to your holiday menu!

One pot.  Heat.  Stir.  Done.

Easy-Peasy and no can opener necessary!

The best part is that homemade cranberry sauce tastes better the next day.  So this can be made the day before Thanksgiving!
