Sweet, Spicy, Chunky Homemade Cranberry Sauce
This dazzling crown jewel of any holiday table is a great compliment to turkey or pork. I've even served it with lamb and it's excellent with that too. It's tangy, sweet, with just a touch of heat to give it kick. Dress it up in a mason jar with a bow and it makes a beautiful tasty gift too!

I am not a fan of canned cranberry sauce, this recipe looks so good. Cannot wait until Thanksgiving to make it.
