The warmth of ginger, cloves, and brown sugar and the brightness of orange juice and zest come together to make this family-favorite cranberry sauce. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen ones — just simmer them a few minutes longer. Make this ahead of time, and save yourself some stress on the big day!

Mellissa's Grandma's Blackberry Cobbler
Mellissa's grandma's blackberry cobbler recipe is wonderful served warm with ice cream. It brings back wonderful memories of picking berries and sitting down at the table with my family. The recipe works well with fresh or frozen fruit. You can also use black raspberries, peaches, and cherries. A new favorite is 2 cups fresh peaches and 2 cups fresh blackberries!
