Cranberry Sauce for the Holidays

Being in Europe during American Thanksgiving made me appreciate my Mom’s Thanksgiving dinner that much more! We went to the Hard Rock Cafe as they were serving American Thanksgiving dinner. The meal was pretty good but nothing compared to home. However, the most disappointing part of the meal was the cranberry sauce and cranberry sauce is so easy to make! You will need 12 ounces of cranberries, 1 cup of white sugar, and 1 cup of orange juice. In a saucepan over medium heat dissolve the sugar in the orange juice and once it is dissolved put the cranberries in. Cook the mixture for about ten minutes or until the cranberries pop. Remove the saucepan from the heat and put it in a different bowl to cool. The sauce will become thicker as it cools down. Just a simple ten or fifteen minutes and you have yourself delicious cranberry sauce for the holidays to enjoy!
