25 Best Cranberry Recipes for the Holidays

Are you a fan of cranberry jelly from a can?

Neither are we! That’s why, a few years ago, my husband dug around on the Food Network site and found Alton Brown’s cranberry dipping sauce recipe. It’s delicious on turkey, rolls, or biscuits – oh my! Janice, my mother-in-law, also makes a cranberry salad that remains a requested family favorite.

If you would also like to keep cranberries as part of your holiday tradition, but you are looking for a better way to eat this delectable (super sour) berry, check out these recipes. We’ve found lots of great ideas to make the cranberry the star of your meal!
