About


I have never been a homemade cranberry kind of a girl. I know there are those that say "Ban the Can ,“ and that (of course) the jellied cranberry sauce is not REAL cranberry sauce, but that is what I grew up on and what I still love to this day. Now that being said, I am all about changing things up and making them more my own, so here is a wonderful alternative to whole berry cranberry sauce, or if you are like me and love the jellied, this is an even better way to go.
