I excused myself, moved to the stove, and cooked up some cranberry sauce “à la minute”. The still-hot bowl was brought to the table, where this most seasonal of condiments was eagerly added to half-finished plates. To my great surprise, hot cranberry sauce was a hit! Since then, it has been part of our traditional spread, or at the very least, the story is revived, even if the sauce has been properly made in advance.
Is cranberry sauce supposed to be hot or cold?
Either! Some prefer to have it served fresh and warm, straight out of the pot, while others need it completely cooled down to enjoy the flavours. Personally, we prefer cooled sauce.
