For a smoother sauce, use a potato masher to gently break down some of the cranberries after they have burst. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This sauce can be made ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld even more beautifully. Consider adding a splash of orange juice or zest for a brighter flavor profile.
