About

The great cranberry debate; canned or homemade? Well I grew up with my grandmothers, aunts and my mother opening a can of cranberry sauce. It always came out of the can with the ridges intact and went to the table exactly that way. Now I will admit as a kid, it was one of the few things I liked at Thanksgiving; the sweet yet tangy flavor and the smooth consistency was a delight to the senses! When I started cooking myself one of the first holiday meals I tackles was Thanksgiving and the cranberry sauce was my highest priority to investigate and make my own. Over the years I have developed this easy cranberry sauce that is a continual crowd pleaser and has made its way into a specialty dessert of mine; Lemon cranberry Cake.
