Grandmas Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is an essential item on most of our holiday tables. If your family is anything like ours, the type of cranberry sauce is a very personal choice. We’ve got some that will only eat that smooth, canned variety. I must admit, I do like that kind – it feels very nostalgic. But there’s something about homemade cranberry sauce that seems to go with everything. This recipe from my Grandma is so easy and does not disappoint.

Ingredients

• Orange Zest (1 orange)
• Fresh Cranberries (1 bag)
• Crushed Pineapple (1 can)
• 1/2 cup Walnuts (optional)
