Have you ever made Homemade Cranberry Sauce? Growing up my Mom always served canned jellied cranberry sauce, so when I got married and became a home cook, I thought that was the only way to serve cranberry sauce.
I thought that making your own Homemade Cranberry Sauce was intimidating. Then flash forward to 2019, and I finally made my first ever cranberry sauce.
And you know what? It’s SUPER easy and not intimidating at all. AND it taste so much better than the store bought canned jellied cranberry sauce.
