Best Cranberry Sauce
This Best Cranberry Sauce recipe is the perfect combination of sweet cranberry with a hint of cinnamon and orange.
It is that time of year again. The cranberries have found their way back into the stores and I for one couldn’t be happier about it. I absolutely love cranberry sauce especially homemade. The flavors and texture of the berries beat out any canned sauce to be sure. This cranberry sauce is my very favorite one to make for the holidays as it has a hint of orange and cinnamon that pairs perfectly with the cranberries. Try this recipe with my Shredded Chicken and Cranberry Sauce for a delicious dinner any night of the week.
