My Fresh Cranberry Sauce is a wonderful and easy way to make cranberry sauce for the holidays. Skip that canned jellied stuff from the store. Who knows what’s in that mystery jelly anyway. This recipe is fresh and oh so delicious, plus naturally dairy and gluten free.
It takes just a few ngredients to make this fresh cranberry sauce, a food processor and it’s raw no cokoing needed.

I make this cranberry sauce every year for Thanksgiving – a big batch of it! It is excellent after Thanksgiving as a topping on cereal or oatmeal. It can be made several days ahead and the nuts can be omitted if allergic to nuts .
