Cranberry sauce
Forgo the canned variety and try this tasty homemade cranberry sauce.

This version of cranberry sauce is not only tastier — it’s healthier. It has much less sugar, and the ginger adds a bright spiciness that goes well with holiday foods. It’s a perfect addition to your holiday table. You can also use the leftovers on toast like jam.
