Diana Elizabeth also likes to make the cranberry sauce, it belongs to Pantry Lane (one of her best friends) here’s the recipe. She’s also jotting it down here if the blog ever goes down – 1 12oz pkg cranberries, fresh  •  1 C sugar
1 orange, medium size all in a food processor (make it a day or two ahead).
