Cranberry sauce is a popular addition to Thanksgiving dinner as well as many Christmas Eve dinners.
I put cherries and cherry juice from concentrate in mine. A little sugar and reduce along with fresh cranberries. Oranges also go very well in cranberry sauce.
Cranberry's are very good for you. They are high in antioxidants and a good cleanser for your kidneys and bladder.
Here are some recipes for you.... Good luck.
