    This is a simple yet fabulous recipe. I have made the recipe several times as written and love it. But recently, I have been adding vanilla, ground ginger and a small amount of orange peel... so delicious!

    This is the cranberry sauce I've made for several years now. It's fantastic. It can be hard to find the tart dried cherries (you don't want dried bings here). I typically order dried tart cherries online and have them shipped to the house. If you don't want to do just a basic fresh boiled cranberry sauce, try this.
