RECIPE BACKSTORY
Cranberry sauce has always been my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner. When I was younger my mom gave this job to me because it was my favorite thing to eat so I loved to make it and sneak tastes while doing so, but I think secretly she just gave it to me because it was so simple and easy to do and there is no way to mess it up. You can make it hours before dinner, or even the day before and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve it.
