Homemade Jellied Cranberry Sauce
I love cranberry sauce and have made lots of tweaks to the basic recipe over the years. What I hadn’t tried until this past Thanksgiving was homemade jellied cranberry sauce, which is a strained and beautifully smooth sauce.
It takes a little elbow grease to strain all of the pulp, but I felt it was totally worth it. Smooth, sweet and delicious — the perfect compliment to a juicy piece of roast turkey. Enjoy!
