As a kid, I used to say I wanted more turkey just to get more cranberry sauce… but not everyone feels the same way about the good stuff. Here are a few sweet and savory recipes that’ll probably change your mind if you’re not a fan.

Take a classic like apple pie and… add cranberries. GmGaston’s Cranberry Apple Pie allows cranberries to shine. Granny smith apples and fresh or frozen cranberries come together with a little bit of orange zest in this tart dessert.

But cranberries aren’t just for dessert. JaneTreva’s Beef Tenderloin with Brandied Cranberries and Roquefort will really remind your taste buds what good food is all about. That’s not your every day cranberry sauce on top of the tenderloin! Dried cranberries get a wake up call when they’re tossed in brandy and later combined in a sauce that includes cheese and sauteed shallots.

Here’s a nice end-of-the-week lunch or dinner idea: Porcalina’s Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad. Enjoy in a sandwich or with crackers, plain ol’ chicken never tasted so good. Nutty, fruity, and fresh, this is a salad that can even be made with leftover turkey!

Don’t think we forgot to talk about cranberry sauce! Cartaphilus Lemon Marmalade Cranberry Sauce doesn’t come from a can. Lemon marmalade, orange juice and fresh cranberries make this sauce unlike any other.
