Preparation

Chef’s notes

The classic cranberry sauce can be enjoyed with yogurt or simply taken spoon-to-mouth.
Alex’s mother’s recipe is a family favorite, often consumed over vanilla gelato.
The cranberry sauce with Port and dried figs has a wine-y taste and pairs well with turkey or roasted potatoes.
