Blackberry Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is arguably one of the most important parts of any Thanksgiving meal. The bright acidity is perfect for breaking up the expanse of rich creaminess that covers the rest of your plate. You can use fresh or frozen fruit here without affecting the recipe either way. Frozen fruit (no need to thaw it first) might take a few minutes longer to come to a simmer, but otherwise can be treated just the same as fresh.

A new twist on a classic Thanksgiving condiment, this easy chunky blackberry cranberry sauce recipe adds blackberries and black raspberry liqueur for a unique flavorful variation.

Interesting fact:

1. The history of U.S. presidents pardoning turkeys is patchy. Harry Truman is often credited with being the first president to pardon a turkey, but that’s not quite true. He was the first to receive a ceremonial turkey from the National Turkey Federation – and he had it for dinner. John F. Kennedy was the first to let a Thanksgiving turkey go, followed by Richard Nixon who sent his turkey to a petting zoo. George H.W. Bush is the president who formalized the turkey pardoning tradition in 1989.
2. Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday on October 3, 1863. Sarah Josepha Hale, the woman who wrote “Mary Had A Little Lamb,” convinced Lincoln to make Thanksgiving a national holiday after writing letters for 17 years.

This home made cranberry sauce recipe is really easy to make and very tasty.
