In my family it was always jellied cranberry sauce, sliced perfectly. It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it. As a matter of fact, I always refused to eat chunky cranberry sauce, not being able to fathom how I could possibly enjoy chunks in my cranberry sauce.
I'm evidence that you can teach an old dog new tricks. Several years ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone by making a chunky cranberry sauce.
One bite of this cranberry sauce and I became a lover of fresh, chunky cranberry sauce. The orange and ginger will hook you. Oh, we still serve the jellied kind at my house, but now there is a choice of either or both. It's the best of both worlds.
