My family has an addiction to cranberry sauce…especially homemade cranberry sauce.

There’s no opening 1 can (or jar!) here!

These people eat it right up and we always end up opening two…and yes, there is only 4 of us…which basically makes us pigs.

However, by learning to make homemade cranberry sauce, you can reduce the sugar and serve your family even more, because now you know it’s good for them!

Does that make you feel a little better?

Good!
