nice
Elana thank you again for another wonderful holiday recipe. I made your honey cake for Rosh Hashanah and I made your cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. It was amazing! I was nervous-this was my first attempt at making cranberry sauce from scratch. It was so easy and delicious. This is definitely a new Thanksgiving staple. Thanks Elana and Happy Holidays!
Kate,
You are welcome and so glad you liked it. This recipe is a favorite in my house.
Happy Holidays!

I tried out your cranberry sauce. It was really great. Thanks for posting it.
B,
You are welcome :-)

This was excellent! I added a total of 4 Tbsp of agave, since my family likes it sweet (and my dad still added further sweetener). I could see this being a great topping to chicken, turkey, brisket, salads, grapefruit, smoothies, chocolate cake, cheesecake, etc. :) I especially liked the stewed apricot bits (my husband even ate the apricot bits and he dislikes apricots) and may try making the two of us a batch with more apricots so I can cut back to 2 Tbsp of agave.
This is probably something I should know but don't - what is ginger zest? I've never hear of it and to me zest is always related to citrus. I'm looking for a good cranberry sauce recipe so now I just need to know what ginger zest is. Thanks.
