Holly Clegg’s easy, no cook cranberry sauce

Each year I buy all the Thanksgiving cooking magazines to find the perfect recipes for side dishes and desserts. This year I bought over 20 magazines! Yet I wasn’t thrilled with any of the recipes for cranberry sauce.

Well, thank goodness for Holly Clegg and her no cook, cranberry sauce recipe. It’s unique and easy to make. Today’s guest post from Holly tells you all about it.

And remember to pick up a copy – or two or three – of Holly’s latest cookbook Too Hot in the Kitchen for a healthier New Year. It makes an excellent holiday gift.

Easy Make-Ahead Cranberry Sauce

A holiday table isn’t complete without turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce. Some people make their cranberry sauce from scratch while others open a can. I love to take advantage of the fresh cranberries while they are in season so I always make a sauce, but it has to be easy! For an easy recipe with a twist, I turned to my new fun, whimsical trim&TERRIFIC® cookbook, Too Hot in the Kitchen.

Appropriately, this no cook effortless sauce is from the Lovin No Oven Chapter (all no cook recipes) and is perfect for the busy person. On simple step, you just toss all your ingredients into a food processor and freeze to take out earlier before the big meal. With all the dishes to be prepared, my make-ahead Cranberry Crush allows you to cross something off your list. With a touch of sweetness, tartness and the bite from the horseradish, this cranberry recipe is so good, you will want to eat it with a spoon.

Directions:

1. In a food processor, process onion until chopped. Add cranberries, sugar, sour cream and horseradish and process until almost pureed.
2. Place in freezable container and freeze overnight. Remove from freezer 3 hours to soften. Serve and refrigerate leftovers.
