Orange Cranberry Sauce

Orange Cranberry Sauce

Orange Cranberry Sauce is always on my Thanksgiving table. I love how the tart cranberries and bright citrus come together with just a few simple ingredients. It’s sweet, tangy, and full of fresh flavor. Whether you’re serving it with turkey or layering it into leftover sandwiches, this sauce adds a pop of color and a burst of brightness that makes the whole meal feel complete.
