Growing up, we were a two cranberry sauce household on Thanksgiving. Some family members preferred the sauce made with real berries that had been boiled down and sweetened. Others like the Ocean Spray jellied variety — the sliceable kind that comes out of the can. Me? I like both.
Cranberry sauce is the underrated MVP of the holiday table. It provides some much needed acidity and tartness to a meal that's basically layers of butter, cream and animal fat. But it's also one of those sides that is better in small doses, so there tends to be a lot of cranberry sauce, especially the full berry variety, left the next day.
Sure, you can toss it on a killer leftover sandwich (here's our guide to making the perfect one, by the way), but you can also reserve some for two delicious baked goods that won't feel like a rehash of Thanksgiving.
They're also both pretty low-effort — the no-bake cheesecake requires one bowl and no oven time, and the cranberry muffins come together in less than 30 minutes — which is a welcome after all the preparation for the big meal.

Serves 6 to 8
- 1 pre-packaged graham cracker pie crust

2. Fold the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
3. Take dollops of the cranberry sauce and spoon them onto the top of the cheesecake. With the end of a spoon, swirl the dollops together slightly to create a marbled effect.
