You might expect this cranberry sauce to be quite fiery, and it does have some bite, but it has a great sweetness as well which makes it a perfect foil for roasted meats such as turkey, chicken, and pork. It is not quite as spicy as a cranberry salsa and is quite easy to make, taking just a few minutes more than simple cranberry sauce from scratch.
Made ahead, it keeps several days, and you can also freeze it so you can get a head start on your Thanksgiving cooking of you need. As busy as everyone gets in the kitchen the days before the big day, that can be a great help.

I love cranberry sauce but have never made it myself before. I love that you added jalapenos – I definitely need to try out the recipe. I have a feeling I will be making lots of this sauce for the upcoming Christmas season!
