Apple Cider Cranberry Sauce (Or Pie Filling!)

I'll admit it: I grew up on the canned stuff. As an adult, I assumed cranberry sauce from scratch would be difficult to make. But it's actually incredibly easy to make and to customize! It's just liquid, sugar, cranberries and optional spices. For the liquid, I used apple cider this time but you can use water, orange juice, mulled wine, raspberry juice...the possibilities are endless. Same goes for add-ins: you can use different spices, fruits, nuts, orange zest, anything goes! Use what sounds good to you or just what you have on hand. This recipe allows you to be flexible and creative without worrying that it won't turn out - it always does!
