HOMEMADE CRANBERRY SAUCE RECIPE

One thing that must be on our holiday dinner table is cranberry sauce. It's not only beautiful but this sweet side dish really compliments all the other salty dishes on the table. It makes for the perfect bite when you stack turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce all on your fork. I have a super simple way to make this and an added ingredient that really brings out that cranberry flavor!

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS THANKSGIVING SIDE DISH:

I prefer a more sweet cranberry sauce but if you enjoy a more tart flavor then just reduce the sugar by a cup.
If using frozen cranberries, allow them to thaw slightly before using.
If you prefer, try adding a zest of an orange on top just before serving.
This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
fresh or frozen cranberries
sugar
water
orange marmalade

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE CRANBERRY SAUCE:

Cook an additional 5 minutes until well combined and mixture thickens up.Remove from heat and serve! Can be stored in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.
