Did you know that frozen cranberries make just as good Classic Cranberry Sauce as fresh cranberries off the vine? Well, they do- and it’s so much easier. You don’t even have to defrost the berries! I admit I grew up eating jellied cranberry sauce from the can- and I loved it! That being said, homemade cranberry sauce is so much better. I even like it on hot dogs!
Spoiler alert: You can even make this classic cranberry sauce with canned whole cranberry sauce. Add crushed pineapple and apples and you’re done.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Note: Try my Cranberry Pomegranate Orange Sauce for a more complex cranberry sauce.
