Zesty Homemade Cranberry Sauce - Not Only for the Holidays

The Crooked Ladle

Homemade Cranberry Sauce - Featuring Wholesome Fresh Fruits

Cranberry Zesty Sauce – Enjoy the freshness of whole fruits

The genesis of this recipe comes from my friend’s mother who acquired it from her friend in 1946, which I find pretty remarkable. Who knows how far this recipe goes back. I recommend not waiting to serve this cranberry sauce just for the holidays because you can enjoy this sauce year round with chicken, pork and beef in addition to the traditional holiday meals. This citrus infused sauce bursts with flavor with just enough sweetness to balance it out. It’s even fun and so simple to make because there’s no need for peeling the fruits and the food processor does all the work in just a couple of minutes.
