We LOVE cranberry sauce in our house, so when I found this recipe on Culinary Hill's website I decided to tweak it to make it my own. If you like your cranberry sauce more tart, use only half of the apple. Don't leave out the salt; it makes the cranberry flavor come alive! This sweeter, milder cranberry sauce is perfect served with cream cheese and crackers, on pound cake, ice cream, or even Holiday pancakes or waffles for breakfast. Great with turkey or ham, too.
