Classic Cranberry Sauce

By devogirl

Cinnamon, ginger, and cloves boost the taste of this traditional whole-berry cranberry sauce. Vary the character by adding toasted nuts or other fruits.
Try adding a dash of cayenne, too: It won't make the sauce spicy per se but it adds a subtle kick that's very tasty.
