It’s hard to believe it’s already December!! We’ve had one festive celebration so far this year and we’re looking forward to many more in the coming weeks!! One of the ways we love to look forward to Christmas is by celebrating Advent with our children – we have a gorgeous Advent calendar that my mom made for us depicting the Christmas story (find the pattern for it here) and the kids love putting one ornament up each day to complete the manger scene. We read the Christmas story together and we spend lots of time cooking and baking cookies and fudge for our friends and neighbours.
And I don’t know about in your house, but in ours the Christmas music makes an appearance on December 1st (or sometimes before!!)! We have lots of dance parties to our favourite Christmas tunes and we sing along as we’re doing all that Christmas baking. There’s just something about hearing those old songs that brings to mind all those traditional Christmas tastes and smells, like this Cider Spice Cranberry Sauce. It’s one of my favourite EASY recipes to make during the holidays, and it takes any holiday dinner over the top! I love adding delicious spices to my homemade cranberry sauce – it takes little to no effort and it reminds me of the flavours of mulled cider which is so popular during this time of year!
I know I’ve told you before all about how fresh Cranberries are just about impossible to find here in Romania where we live, but fortunately I was able to find some (read: lots!!) on a recent trip to Austria. Yes, I was that crazy food blogger who filled her carry-on suitcase with fresh cranberries…Thankfully they all made it home in one piece and now I have a freezer FULL of cranberries to use all winter long!! I’ll be making this Cider Spice Cranberry Sauce for every Christmas meal and enjoying every last drop of its cranberry-cidery goodness! If you’re looking for a super simple cranberry sauce recipe this year that will take your Christmas dinner to the next level, then this is the recipe for you!!
