Cranberry sauce is a staple on most Thanksgiving tables. It adds a wonderful zest to that perfectly roasted Turkey. Every family has their own traditional recipe they use to make this must have dish. I have altered our family recipe to be a little less tart. My niece, who never ate cranberry sauce, now Loves it. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
