It’s National Cranberry Day, and there’s no better way to celebrate this festive food holiday than with a unique take on the traditional cranberry sauce. It’s even more fitting that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Unfortunately, cranberry sauce often falls to the sidelines when the Thanksgiving table is full of everyone’s favorites like stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and beautiful, plant-based entrées.

That doesn’t have to be the case this year. Instead, you can make the cranberry sauce the star of the table with just the right recipe.

This Spiced Orange Cranberry Sauce by Sabrina Russo will show everyone at your Thanksgiving feast just how delicious cranberry sauce can be. 

This recipe isn’t your typical cranberry sauce. Instead of grabbing a can at the store and dumping it out onto a plate, you can take the time to make this dish full of flavor. To make this sauce extra special, it’s infused with cinnamon and cloves. Next, it’s flavored with fresh orange juice and zest. This combination creates just the right balance of acidity, sweetness, and warming spice; perfect for your holiday table.
