Try this for a Christmas or Thanksgiving meal and you will never serve that canned glop again!

Even people who don't like cranberry sauce will enjoy this fresh variation.

Ingredients:

2 navel oranges
12 oz. cranberries
½ - 1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. mace

Directions:

Zest oranges to yield 2 tsp. zest. Peel and separate into sections. Discard pith and seeds.

Starting with ½ cup sugar; place all ingredients in blender and pulse until mixed. Taste and add more sugar if desired.

I like it with just the ½ cup of sugar, especially when served with all the rich foods of Thanksgiving. But some people prefer the sweeter version.

Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
