  • 1/2 cup crème de cassis (black currant-flavored liqueur)

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. Had requests for the recipe. I made it the day before and followed the recipe as instructed except I used Triple Sec since I had it on hand and did not have crème de cassis. It will become our traditional sauce.

Made this for Thanksgiving. Best cranberry sauce I ever had. Made 4 days before and added the lemon zest on the day. Delicious!
