25 Cranberry Sauce, Relish, and Chutney Recipes for your Thanksgiving Table

What was once the dish I shunned that most at the Thanksgiving table is now the dish I can't do without—cranberry sauce! I've mentioned my distrust of the jellied cylinder that graced the holiday tables of my youth before. The day I discovered that not all cranberry "sauces" were created equal, my holiday menu was turned upside down. I started imagining which liquids, herbs, fruits, or spices would go into my cranberries to best complement the rest of the meal.

I have my favorite, but I'm always game for trying another version of cranberry sauce alongside it. Because hey, you never know. Oh, and I think it's worth mentioning that after so many years of shunning that jiggling ruby cylinder, I'm actually going to bring a homemade jellied cranberry sauce to our family potluck this year (surprise!). And I'm looking forward to it.
