Fresh cranberries, freshly squeezed orange juice and a hint of red wine make up this delicious orange cranberry sauce. Add this sweet, yet tart, side dish to your Thanksgiving meal plan. Skip the canned, slimy, jellied cranberry sauce and try making this fresh orange cranberry sauce this year, I promise you won’t regret it!

How many of you remember cranberry sauce from your childhood Thanksgiving meals? My memory is canned jellied cranberry sauce, sliced and served on a nice glass platter. But you could literally see the lines from the can on the jellied cranberry sauce. As a kid, this completely grossed me out. I think my mom and grandmother just liked the taste of this jellied cranberry sauce (she’s probably reading this so she might confirm or not confirm this assumption) because otherwise, I can’t figure out why anyone would want to eat this slimy dish. This fresh cranberry sauce won’t be featuring any can lines, if you know what I mean. <wink>
