This isn’t just any cranberry sauce… it’s the one I grew up with every year at Thanksgiving thanks to my Mom! I might be biased, but to me, this is the best version I’ve ever tasted! It’s more on the tart side than sweet because she doesn’t use as much sugar as most recipes call for. The addition of the lemon zest and a little nutmeg really makes this cranberry sauce SO delicious that the turkey really just becomes a vehicle to eating the sauce!
Ingredients
- 4 cups cranberries
