Cranberry sauce is a sweet-tart condiment made by cooking cranberries with sugar, sometimes with citrus or spices. Its texture can range from smooth and jelly-like to chunky, with a bright, tangy flavor. It is commonly served with roast turkey and other meats, and is also used in sandwiches, alongside cheeses, or as a relish in a variety of cuisines. In North America, it is especially associated with Thanksgiving, and cranberries themselves are native to the region.
