Fresh Cranberry Sauce

Luckily, this sauce lasts for days and can be made ahead for Thanksgiving and put aside in the fridge. There are many recipes calling for a variety of spices and nuts but Bake loves this one. Along with turkey on Thanksgiving and sandwiches that follow, this cranberry sauce is also good over yogurt for a breakfast change.

Fresh Cranberry Sauce

1 package (12 ounces) fresh cranberries

1 Tablespoon orange zest

Place cranberries, sugar and orange juice in a saucepan over high heat until mixture comes to a boil.

Lower heat and simmer until cranberries start to pop. Cook about 10-15 minutes.
