No Fail Cranberry Sauce
Serves 12
I have made several attempts to make a perfect cranberry sauce. Well I think I have finally done it. This sauce is delicious with hints of Mandarin orange and cinnamon. They give this sauce extra layers of flavor. The cranberry jell-o helps it to jell up nicely. I am not a fan of runny cranberry sauce. The key to a great sauce it not to add too much sugar and to not over cook the cranberries. God Bless my late mother Katherine, but she over cooked the cranberries until they were a mushy mess. These cook just enough to pop and maintain their flavor. This Cranberry sauce will be a big hit at your Thanksgiving table. Please try this recipe and let me know what you think. Blessings to you and yours this Thanksgiving holiday. Bon Appetit, Cecelia
