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.
