Cranberry Sauce...

I love Thanksgiving; it has to be hands down, my favorite holiday. You get to spend the whole day with family & friends, eating, relaxing and being thankful.  I must say there is nothing better then roasted turkey with all the trimmings.
Now in this house there have been many discussions about canned cranberry sauce vs. fresh cranberry sauce... I stand on the side of fresh .... unlike the rest of my family; which loves the strange "plop" canned cranberry sauce makes when coming out of the can. There is just something about the more sauce like texture of fresh which makes it my favorite.
Oh well that just means I get to eat more of this delicious condiment!

Cranberry Sauce
24 oz fresh cranberries
juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon

Place it all in a crock pot. Cook on low for 5 hours.
Mash to your desired consistency, cool and serve.
