Cranberry Sauce Recipe
If you want to make your entire house smell amazing for two hours, make this. Exactly as the recipe says. It’s brilliant.
Note: The jalapenos seem like a lot at first. Just go with it. I was also tempted to put in a little more water, but I’m happy I didn’t. The recipe is perfect. Trust the recipe.
Also: My other contribution to Thanksgiving dinner is creamy potatoes au gratin. I diced the onions like a few of the other reviewers did, sprinkled over a dusting of garlic salt-and-pepper seasoning, and topped the whole with bread crumbs and a handful of shredded cheese before putting it into the oven.
