My family’s favorite cranberry sauce with a kick of bourbon!
Honestly, I was never so big into cranberry sauce as a kid. I mean, I feel like most kids aren’t. Except my sister. She is beyond obsessed with cranberry sauce and always has been. She’s basically a cranberry sauce connoisseur.
One year my aunt made a different cranberry sauce than the usual kind we were all used to, and my sister was a bit skeptical. But it immediately became her favorite that now this is the only way we can make the Thanksgiving cranberry sauce. This recipe even turned me into a cranberry sauce lover! And the not-so-secret ingredient in it is bourbon!
Here are the Ingredients for this Bourbon Cranberry Sauce:
