November 24: Enjoy Fresh Cranberry Sauce this Thanksgiving
Whether sweet or tangy, cranberry sauce is a Thanksgiving staple! The original Thanksgiving is thought to have involved cranberries but with no access to sugar, cranberry sauce was unlikely. However, documentation from 1663 discusses a sweet sauce made of boiled cranberries that was consumed with meat, showing that it does have its roots in early U.S. history.
Basic sauce is made by boiling cranberries in sugar water until they pop. To add different flavors, Dishfolio food bloggers found online food recipes for cranberry sauce featuring almonds, orange juice, lemon zest and ginger. You can try the jellied favorite or go for something more like a relish. There are many options for the traditional sauce that is easy to make and accompanies turkey so well. See if you can find a new favorite this season!
