Making and Canning Cranberry Sauce
Cranberries are uniquely
North American and a must
on the table for
Thanksgiving. Cranberry
sauce is so easy to make
that it should never be store
bought. If not canning the
sauce, you may make it a
few days before
Thanksgiving and
refrigerate enough to last
through Christmas. For a
plainer, more traditional
sauce, you may eliminate
the spices.
