CRANBERRY SAUCE


Another Thanksgiving classic is flavourful, tart cranberry sauce. Not only does this add a great pop of colour to your table but it will give all your savoury, rich food a delicious contrast.

Pro Tip: When it comes to cranberry sauce, it's always best to make it from scratch instead of from the can. Fresh cranberries bring a bold, natural tartness that gets perfectly balanced with a touch of sugar and a squeeze of orange juice, creating a sauce that’s layered with flavour and texture. With a canned version, you're missing out on the kick that only fresh cranberries can deliver, and you're left with a uniform jelly that's all too sweet and a bit too processed. Making it yourself takes just a few minutes, and the result is a sauce with real character – bright, tangy, and made to perfectly complement a savoury roast or smoked turkey.
