This easy Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce recipe<\/strong> will be your go-to condiment for Thanksgiving turkey<\/a>, grilled meats, sandwiches and appetizers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just six ingredients, it’s easy to make in less than an hour and soooo tasty. It’s always one of our family’s favorite holiday recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use organic ingredients and tweak the recipe with any flavorings or spices you like. I add a little fresh lemon zest, and hint of citrus nicely compliments the sweet tartness of the cranberries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
