You dress up for the holidays, so your can of jellied cranberry sauce should, too.
This configuration prevents vapor lock, helping the sauce slide out easily and retain its can-like shape.
Next, gently slide the jelly onto a platter.
The traditional way of serving jellied cranberry sauce is sliced into rounds.
Serve the slices plain or garnished as desired.
Sugared Rosemary
Use a sparkly, festive sprig of sugared rosemary to dress up plain slices.
Their earthy flavor and slight bitterness provide a delightful contrast to cranberry’s sweet tartness.
Candied Ginger
Arrange store-bought strips of candied ginger atop sliced jellied cranberry sauce.
The ginger adds a spicy sweetness and a little bite to the sauce’s texture.
What to do with the rest of your package of crystallized ginger?
Use it to whip up a batch ofcashew gingersnaps.
The tartness of the fresh fruit balances out the sweetness of the canned stuff.
Plus, who doesn’t love a good meta side dish at Thanksgiving dinner?
You’ll end up with tender, spiced apples to top your cranberry sauce.
If you want to add a little heat, try a drizzle of hot honey on top.
