Made to order
I made these for several events over the 2015 holiday season. They were a huge hit. I made a whole tub of the cranberry sauce and froze what I didn't use after the holidays were over. Looking forward to blending up another batch soon!

Great Flavor
I made the cranberry jam the night before to bring to a new year's eve party.
We made it alcohol free as a drink alternative. It was especially nice with seltzer added.
