I made Homemade Cranberry Sauce for the first time a few years ago and the whole family loved it. I surprised my husband this year by changing up the traditional sauce for something with a bit of heat. He and my oldest son both really liked this kicked up version.

Cranberry sauce is the easiest dish to prepare for Thanksgiving. I make it about a week in advance and then don’t think about it again until it is time to set the table. I’ll be making an additional cranberry sauce tomorrow as well, because my younger boys love the traditional version so much. This creamy cranberry jalapeno dip is lightly sweetened and balanced with just a hint of heat from the peppers. Served with crackers and pretzels or spread on toast, this is an unforgettable holiday treat. Sweet, tart, and full of cranberries, apples, raisins, and spices, cranberry chutney is sure to become a must-have on the holiday table.
