Easy Cranberry Sauce Recipe
Keep It Simple With a Zesty Cranberry Sauce
A solid cranberry sauce recipe is a key component of any traditional Thanksgiving menu.

It's incredibly simple, and although I usually enjoy it once a year, I can't help but think that it would be wildly delicious on toast or even with cheesecake. Keep on reading for the recipe.
