Serving Suggestions: For more flavor, add the zest of the orange you used, then peel and chop. This is a great garnish for any white meat: Mahogany Roasted Turkey, Roast Turkey, Roast Turkey with Herb Butter and Caramelized Onion-Balsamic Gravy, Roast Turkey with Pomegranate Gravy or Pork Tenderloin. For another variation, try our Spiced-Tea Cranberry Sauce or our Cosmopolitan Cranberry Sauce.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cranberries are highly acidic, which discourages bacteria growth. Cranberry sauce can be made and refrigerated at least two weeks before serving, and leftovers are likely to stay fresh for another two weeks. If using frozen cranberries, do not defrost before use. Just allow extra cooking time.
