As you shop for your Thanksgiving feast, pick up a bag of fresh cranberries and an orange to make the sauce that I share this week in my Twice as Tasty column for the Flathead Beacon. It’s about one of the easiest upgrades you can put on the Thanksgiving table, and you can prepare it far enough in advance that it doesn’t take up stovetop space on the big day.

Homemade cranberry sauce goes with all of your holiday leftovers, but I also use it as the base for a salad dressing that can be served with the holiday meal or for weeks afterward for a fresh-greens fix. I’ll share that dressing recipe and a salad to put it on in next week’s column, so if you want to serve these on Thanksgiving Day, add a second orange, shallot, red onion, spinach, almonds, and blue cheese or feta to your shopping list.

Learn more about using cranberry sauce and get the complete recipe for Orange-Infused Cranberry Sauce in my column.

Make it, share it.
