Orange Cranberry Sauce is one of my favorite Thanksgiving sides to make, because its soo easy to make and only has a handful of ingredients. Plus this is one of the few recipes that are a lot of fun to make. The cinnamon and allspice makes it fragrant. The cranberry and orange zest makes it visually appealing. And its so satisfying to hear the cranberries pop as they burst. a fully interactive cooking. Plus its nearly impossible to mess up.
