Cranberry Continental
This recipe is from my Grandma Florence (who isn’t really my grandma at all, but a beloved family member who is no longer with us). Our family has been making it for decades. It is a staple at our holiday table and has been known to convert cranberry haters to cranberry fans. It also has a great shelf life (seriously, it seems to last forever—maybe it’s the brandy?) and pairs wonderfully with leftover turkey in sandwiches.
