Holiday Cranberry Sauce
This is the classic holiday turkey sauce. Our version is loaded with oranges—fresh orange juice, zest and rind—candied ginger strips and crunchy nuts. We also love to serve it over cakes, as a dip for butter cookies, spread on toast, muffins and pancakes, or in a cranberry-Cheddar sandwich. But its best use might be on a leftover turkey sandwich with stuffing and crunchy lettuce.
