Who here likes cranberry sauce?
Who here does not like cranberry sauce?
Who here has tried making their own homemade cranberry sauce and still doesn’t like it?
It is actually very easy to make, and I didn’t realize that until looking up a recipe. And the homemade version is really good compared to the canned cranberry jelly sauce version.
Honestly, I was starting to like a little of that canned jelly version with the dry Thanksgiving turkey meat. But I don’t think I can eat the canned jelly kind anymore now that I’ve tried this homemade cranberry sauce.
Challenge: If you’ve never made your own whole berry cranberry sauce, please do! And let us know how you like it đ
This would be a fun recipe to try with your kids. When the berries start boiling in the water/sugar mixture, they kind of pop. And when they start to expand, find a darker cranberry and see if there are any light lines on it. They might look somewhat like the planet Saturn, with a ring around them.

Instructions:
- Stir water and sugar together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.
