Cranberry Sauce goes with turkey, like Grilled Turkey Steak, as peanut butter goes with jelly. But store-bought cranberry sauce can be lacking in flavor. There's nothing flavorless about this homemade cranberry sauce. The sweetness of the orange juice complements the tartness of the cranberries. And the orange zest adds a bright tanginess. What's more, this cranberry sauce takes just 15 minutes to make. So it doesn't take much time out of your busy holiday preparations.
