I’m going to be really honest with you….this was my first time making or even TRYING cranberry sauce.  I just thought cranberry sauce meant the stuff you slop out of a can and I blew my own mind with this one.  It’s good, but take that for what it’s worth – I really don’t know any different.  🙂

Enjoy!
