Anyone up for some Cranberries!
This is the one dish, where I separate myself from my family, and run for door! You see in my house growing up We always used the canned cranberry sauce, you know it I’m sure, It retains the perfect shape of the can right down to the rings around it! Mom would just plop it out of the can and slice it onto the serving plate, and be done with it! YUK! Lets just for fun talk about using real, fresh, cranberries this year K?
It does require a little more time to prepare, but not that much, and the end result is so much better! You can buy fresh cranberries at any supermarket these days, they come in a bag, in the produce department. They are cheap and easy to fix.
I have a site for you to see some different ways you could prepare you beautiful berries! Now I like to just put my washed berries in a large, thick bottomed sauce pot with just a small amount of water, and cook over medium heat until the cranberries start to give off their liquid. Then I add some sugar, minced fresh ginger, ground cloves, and a dash or two of lemon juice. Let this cook for a bit and blend with an immersible blender, or in a standard blender, and season with salt to taste! Boom, Done It’s really that easy!
Plus you can always buy an extra bag for decorating your table, they really are beautiful, and festive!
Enjoy,
James
