One purpose for this blog is to challenge myself to make things I have never made before and to learn, learn, learn! So, first up was homemade cranberry sauce as I thought, ‘heck, I can do this!’. After looking up various recipes, which were pretty much all identical and consistent, I quickly realized that preparing your own cranberry sauce is SOOOO EASY!!! I’ll never go back to the canned jelly, never!!! Well, maybe if I’m in a pinch, I should never say never. Ha! Turned out so great that I’m sharing this for you so you can have the recipe for Christmas. Enjoy!
