Cranberry Sauce

Teri-Ann Carty
Is any holiday meal complete without cranberry sauce? I really don't believe so. I wanted to keep mine tart as I find most cranberry sauce recipes far too sweet. I am thrilled with how mine turned out and believe you will be too.

  • ¼ cup cane sugar

Instructions

Notes

You can use any sweetener you prefer. I like cane sugar as it is a little less sweet!
