Cranberry-Tangerine Sauce

A riddle: If a tangerine is a hybrid of a mandarin orange and any other type of orange, and a clementine is a hybrid of a mandarin orange and a sweet orange, does that make a clementine a tangerine? Secondly, if we love snacking on all of these sweet little tangerines year-round, why do we have to purchase big, not-so-exciting navel oranges to make cranberry sauce?

Clearly the person who made cranberry sauce had never had a “cutie,” or mandarin, or whatever we call these things. We can do whatever we want with our cranberry sauce! If you like leftover sauce for sandwiches, make sure to double the recipe.

Serves 6-8 as a side for Thanksgiving.
