The answer to an amazing Thanksgiving is not your mother’s cranberry sauce recipe. The best part about this new and improved beauty is that you can—and should—make this the day before and re-warm before serving.
 
Makes 8 servings 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Tessemae’s Honey Poppyseed or Lemon Garlic
• 1 apple, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
• 2 bags (12 ounces each) fresh cranberries

3. Combine apple mixture, cranberries, shallot, lemon zest, and ½ cup of pecans in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and stir until well blended.
4. Roast cranberry mixture, stirring twice during cook time, until cranberries have softened, about 1 hour.
