Most cranberry sauce recipes only call for 3-5 ingredients and you can make it as tart or sweet as you want, as runny or as thick as you want and it’s great as a stand alone side dish if you ask me.
Then with your leftover cranberry sauce you can make our Cranberry apple cobbler which is a family favorite…and I ensure I use all that is left after a day or two.
