Cranberry Sauce is a Thanksgiving staple but let’s face it, that gelatinous glob from a can rarely ends up on anyone’s plate. This year, why not start a new holiday tradition? Cook your own homemade fragrant cranberry relish from scratch with fresh ingredients and those cranberries will be made worthy of their spot on the table. Our chefs at GP Kitchen have generously shared their recipe as a way of saying “thank you” to our customers, fans, families, and friends!
