Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Sharing is caring!

This Cranberry Sauce recipe was actually one my mom found that we used for Thanksgiving dinner, since this uses fresh cranberry, it does come out a little tart/sour.

I happen to like the taste, but if you would prefer it to be sweeter you can add more sugar until it reaches your approval.
