Embellish any holiday dish with a ruby-red dollop of this classic tart and tangy sauce. Feel free to dress it up with a little orange zest, a squeeze of orange juice, a cinnamon stick, or a pinch of allspice. It’s also surprisingly good stirred into nonfat yogurt for a fruity breakfast treat. Cranberry sauce can be made up to 1 week before serving.
