Notes
Depending on how tart you like your cranberry sauce, you can switch up the type of apple to include. For a more sweet sauce, include a gala or opal apple. For a more tart flavor, add in a granny smith apple
You can use orange juice from concentrate, but fresh orange juice tastes best in this recipe.
