    NOTE: wash and check each cranberry for firmness and spoilage before starting these recipes. Total time for both recipes takes about 20 minutes plus the chopping from 4 hours earlier. And the best part it is completed the night before so there is less to think of the day of Thanksgiving or Christmas
