•Cranberry sauce can be made 1 week ahead and chilled in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before serving, and if desired, thin with warm water.•If serving 2 to 4 people, sauce recipe can be halved, but because cranberry sauce keeps indefinitely in the refrigerator—and we think this one is particularly delicious—we suggest you make the full amount and enjoy it for months to come with chicken or pork, or as a topping for toast.
