HOLIDAY RECIPE TIP:DITCH THE CANNED CRANBERRY SAUCE

By Valeria Miraglia, A Tatum Highlands Homeowner

Make your own cranberry sauce using fresh or frozen cranberries!

Just follow the instructions on the bag of cranberries but elevate the taste.

• Substitute apple cider or apple juice for the water.

• Toss in a cinnamon stick and some orange rind while the berries are cooking.

• Once the berries have popped and the sauce has thickened, remove the cinnamon stick and orange rind.

• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Optional: For a smoother sauce, push the cranberry sauce in small amounts through a sieve to remove the skins and seeds.
