    What is cranberry sauce supposed to taste like?

    It’s supposed to be tart but balanced with a bit of sweetness. Classic cranberry sauce may have a hint of citrus or orange. And you may find cinnamon or apple in others.

    Is cranberry sauce warm or cold?

    You can serve it warm or room temperature, but it’s usually served cold.

    What goes well with cranberry?

    Clearly any AIP thanksgiving recipe goes well with AIP Cranberry Sauce. But I like it with my Prosciutto Wrapped Stuff Pork with Brussel Sprouts. This makes a great substitute for a turkey for any holiday meal alongside some cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes.

      hi...do you just use the zest of the orange or also the juice? It isn't clear (one orange, zested). Would love to give this a try today.

      This is the most delicious cranberry recipe I’ve ever tasted! And I can’t believe how easy it was to make it. I was worried about making AIP thanksgiving specials and this helped me a lot. I think I’ll keep making this sauce with my weekly Sunday roasts, I’m sure it’ll go great with it.
