Homemade Cranberry Sauce (pecans + mandarin)
This cranberry sauce has been a staple in my family for the past 10 years. Ever since my family asked me to make a side dish for thanksgiving and I needed something easy, fast, and delicious. What I thought would be a one time side dish has now become a tradition for thanksgiving. Enjoy!
