3-Ingredient Cranberry Sauce

Let's get real -- we all know that Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without cranberry sauce! More specifically, fresh cranberry sauce -- not in the can. Most people who do end up buying the canned have absolutely no idea how easy it is to make real cranberry sauce. Once you try it, I promise you will never go back.

All you need are literally three ingredients! How easy is that?

• 1 (12 ounce) bag of fresh cranberries

• 2 large oranges (zested & juiced)

• 1 cup of pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)

I also wanted to share my favorite Thanksgiving dinnerware with y'all. My personal favorites are Spode Woodland, Spode Delamere, and of course, Juliska Country Estate in flint. If I had to choose just one thing to purchase it would most definitely be this Spode Woodland Scalloped Platter it's absolutely gorgeous, and y'all know that I love anything scalloped. This Turkey Platter would definitely be the runner-up up though!
