Homemade Cranberry Sauce thanksgiving christmas fall winter recipe

This Homemade Cranberry Sauce is the easiest Thanksgiving dish around, but also the one that makes the biggest difference! If you haven’t tried making cranberry sauce yourself, now’s the time! It’s SO much better than store-bought and ties everything together. It’s super simple, only takes a little bit of time, and is also my absolute favorite to use on a leftover Thanksgiving sandwich. Hope you try this one and enjoy!
