cranberry sauce

Cranberry sauce is a sweet and tangy condiment made from cranberries, which are small, red berries native to North America. The berries are cooked with sugar and sometimes other ingredients like orange zest or spices to enhance flavor. It’s commonly served during Thanksgiving and holiday meals, often alongside turkey, providing a vibrant color and balancing savory dishes with its bright, tart taste. The sauce can be prepared fresh or canned, and its refreshing flavor complements rich, hearty foods, making it a popular festive accompaniment.
