Growing up, we had Thanksgiving dinner staples. These were dishes that were certain to make an appearance on the table every year. Our Thanksgiving staples were the turkey (of course), stuffing, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, creamed corn, dinner rolls and cranberry sauce.
I am sure there was something green too, but I have no recollection of its contribution as I had no intention of eating it. Maybe it was green beans. Growing up I was as picky an eater as they get!
Perhaps preparing Thanksgiving dinner for a large crew was overwhelming or we didn't know the difference, but Mom always bought the canned cranberry sauce and sliced it into coins. I never touched it.
It never looked appetizing. I love cranberries but it never even crossed my mind to put it on my plate. I am pretty sure I thought they were beets for a long time. When I grew up and moved cross-country, I had to start thinking about what I would have at Thanksgiving. Of course, I thought of all those things that were traditional in my family.
I was very excited until I got to the cranberry sauce. I knew I had to do something.
I started with fresh cranberries, sugar, and liquid. And it was divine. I have tried this recipe with cranberry juice, orange juice, water and even white wine. It is so simple and amazing. It is now my family tradition to enjoy my simple cranberry sauce every Thanksgiving, and I hope it will be your new tradition too!
