This recipe has become one of our Thanksgiving traditions. I first made it shortly after our marriage and its sweet, tangy combination has us hooked. It’s really much better than it sounds.
Paired with pretzels it is a delicious, fat-free snack option.
1 can (16 oz) jellied cranberry sauce (of course you can always make your own)
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp pepper
1TBL flour
1 TBL cold water
Combine first 5 ingredients in a saucepan and whisk over medium heat until smooth. Combine flour and cold water then add to cranberry mixture. Bring to a boil and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover and chill overnight.
This can be made ahead of time (we’re making ours for Thanksgiving today) to ease last minute prep.
I’m not a great cook, but I have gathered some delicious recipes and they’re almost all fast and easy! You can view all of my posted recipes here.

Way off Topic, but Congrats on the win over at Design Dazzle…that was how I found you…those rain gutter bookshelves were very clever and innovative.

Thank you Carrrie! I can hardly believe that I won. Some of my family are going to be receiving some lovely Christmas gifts.

I might have to try that. I’m not a fan of cranberry sauce, but somehow I’ve wound up with a can. I know I won’t eat it straight, so I’m willing to give the dip a try.

ohh, this looks good, and easy. I like easy.
thanks, going to try this…and it’s probably better than just dipping the pretzels in chocolate…

Well, chocolate is always good.

ok, trying this today – but it says combine first 7 ingredients in saucepan, but there are only 7 total. I am assuming it means first 5, hope it works.

You are right, combine the first 5. I’ll change the post later.
Let me know if you like it.

My kids will love this cranberry did. They eat pretzels with almost everything. Can’t wait to try it.
