1. Freshness Matters: Use fresh cranberries for vibrant flavor and texture in your sauce.

2. Balanced Sweetness: Find the perfect sweet-tart balance with sugar, honey, or maple syrup.

3. Citrus Zest Boost: Elevate the flavor with citrus zest and juice for a zesty twist.

4. Texture Play: Add chopped nuts or diced fruit for a delightful texture variation.

5. Spice it Up: Infuse warmth with cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for a festive touch.

🤔 Answer to Today’s Trivia Question

A: The idea for canned cranberry sauce started as a way to preserve the excess harvest of berries, so they were not wasted during their short growing season.

In 1912, Marcus Urann, a lawyer-turned-cranberry-growing entrepreneur, created a prototype canned cranberry sauce he called Ocean Spray.

By 1930, Marcus Urann and two other cranberry growers formed a co-op and started creating cranberry products.

Their first product was “Jellied Cranberry Sauce”. It became commercially available in 1941 and is still one of Ocean Spray's most popular products.
