★ Make Ahead and Storage Instructions:
This recipe may be prepared up to one week ahead. Keep covered and refrigerated. You can freeze homemade cranberry sauce, and it works pretty well. It’s best to store it in the freezer for no longer than 3 months. The taste may be affected (due to its water content) if frozen longer. This comes in handy if you have a lot left over from your holiday dinner!
