Do you make your own cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving (or any other holiday meal) or do you buy it in a can? If you don't make your own cranberry sauce you really should. Its just too easy and too fun to pass up. You can buy a bag of cranberries for a few dollars, add some sugar and water and heat it all up until the berry begin to burst. That's right, I said burst; its like making popcorn with fruit! (There are plenty of more detailed recipes out there if you feel you need more detailed instructions but really, its that simple and hard to get wrong.)
Sure, its cheaper, easier, and faster to buy the sauce in a can but the two don't really even compare. Unless you're really strapped for cash and/or time, spend the extra two bucks and fifteen minutes to make the sauce yourself. Or better yet, get some quality kitchen time with a family member or friend and recruit them to do it.
Fresh cranberries will be readily available in the US for several more weeks so don't wait. I'm betting once you try it, you'll never go back. I haven't.
