Tart Cranberry Dipping Sauce

ACTIVE TIME: 35 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 5 minutes
Skip the traditional canned cranberry sauce and mix up this refreshingly tart cranberry dipping sauce instead; it's turkey's perfect pairing.
I find that dipping sauce provides an unexpected way to deliver on some expected Thanksgiving flavors. Not to mention, it's also a whole lot easier to make than classic giblet gravy.
