  • Control the Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar based on your personal preference, starting with a smaller amount and gradually adding more until you reach the desired sweetness.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to enhance the cranberry sauce's flavor profile.
  • Chill for Optimal Flavor: Refrigerate the cranberry sauce for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
