Holiday Recipe: Hot Cranberry Salad

Happy Friday Everyone!!  Ready for the weekend?  I am, but it also means that Thanksgiving is just around the bend. Have you started to make your shopping list?  The time has come to drag out your recipes and get prepared for the main event.

One of my favorite family recipes for the Thanksgiving table is Hot Cranberry Salad.  This dish has been a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner staple on my table ever since I was a little girl.  It is incredibly easy to make and although I know I’m insanely biased, it is super yummy.  I’m certain it’s the perfect addition to everyone’s holiday meal.  What I love the most about this dish is that when I eat it, I feel like I’m home.
