Thanksgiving Home Made: Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce, You Must Try!!

I know its last minute. But this easy and delicious recipe is a must have to go along side your thanksgiving meal this year. I saw an episode on the food network a few years ago, when Bobby Flay visited Norma Jean Harden from Spoonbread in Harlem, where she shared a few of her favorite thanksgiving recipes. I was use to eating that tart jelly-ton like, cylinder shaped,  ruby colored sauce (if you can call it that) out of the can, until I saw this. I have been making this cranberry sauce ever since. Once I whipped it up and tried it along with the rest of my family, I have been making it ever since (kind of forced to make it by the family). I panic every time I think I have lost the recipe. Its simple, easy, delicious, and it beats the canned stuff any day and time. Soo, if you can run out for the ingredients in the morning, I say to make this a new addition to your yearly meal on Thanksgiving. Enjoy... Happy Turkey Day all!!
