When Thanksgiving arrives and I am running around like a crazy person making sure everything is ready to go! The Turkey, the gravy, the mashed potatoes, the table decoration all this is part of the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. One recipe that I feel often gets overlooked and not appreciated is the Cranberries Relish/Sauce. So many people go for the can or store products which is fine, but doesnt come close to the homemade recipe I will share with you today. It is easy and will make a perfect addition to the Thanksgiving Feast you are preparing for your family and friend. It is sweet and tangy, savory and sour with orange flavor- just the perfect combination for your dinner.
