Cranberry Tangerine Sauce

Simple three ingredient cranberry sauce in less than twenty minutes.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, just a few days away! Time to share with you this simple and delicious cranberry and tangerine sauce.
Nothing fancy, it can be in made in a flash with just three ingredients: cranberries, tangerines, and sugar.

Tangerines are a great complement to the cranberries. They are a smaller, sweeter version of an orange. Their small size makes for easy juicing with a citrus press and their naturally sweet flavor pairs well with the tart cranberries.

This can be made several days in advance and refrigerated until you are ready to use on the big day!
