Do you make your own cranberry sauce or do you buy the canned stuff? I have a brother-in-law that swears he has to have the canned junk, but I always make us fresh cranberry sauce. I love the zesty zing of it, and I actually love preparing it. It is super easy to make, and only mildly time consuming. But the results are a beautiful jewel toned jelly that you can’t beat. We start making it early and have it all winter long. I buy huge bags of the cranberries from Costco. No, they aren’t organic, but they aren’t over processed either.

I’ve made it many times. I’ve never purchased it but I do remember my mother opening the cranberry sauce can and dumping it into a silver serving dish. It was the shape of the can! Looking back now, it’s pretty funny!
