I imagine you're all in the thick of your Thanksgiving preparations, as am I, but I wanted to take a minute to pop in and share this recipe with you.
I'm generally not a big fan of cranberry sauce on my turkey, but I did grow up with the oh so attractive gelatinous version on the Thanksgiving table. It always made me giggle that it was on a pretty plate, yet it was in the shape of the can it came in, wearing every dip and curve from the can it was so carefully popped out of.
This recipe is nothing like that. This cranberry sauce is pretty and tasty. The perfect combination. I originally found this recipe in a Bon Appetit Thanksgiving issue, and I've been making it every year since.
Here are the ingredients: frozen cranberry juice cocktail, water, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, ground allspice, dried tart cherries, and whole cranberries.
Just bring the first five ingredients to a boil . . .
. . . drop the cherries in . . .
. . . and finally, the cranberries.
They're so pretty.
These cranberries have been cooking for about seven minutes now and they're starting to pop, which is what I want.
Almost there.
From there, you just pour it into your serving dish and let it cool. You can serve it cold or at room temperature, either way, it's yummy. With or without the turkey.
Here's the recipe card. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

ReplyDeleteWOW this looks GREAT! Thanks so much for sharing! I saw your spam comment on Cathie Owens' scrapbooking website and thought I would share what I know how to block these suckers. Make sure you have your comment word verification on. This is to make it more difficult for the spammers to get through. To turn that on you go to "settings" then "comments" and under comments you will see the question "Show word verification for comments?" and you will want to make sure you select yes. Great Blog! Thanks for sharing!!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry... one more thing. Also in the "comments" section I saw that you can turn on the comment moderation to posts older than _ days (you get to choose the number of days). That way they can't spam as easily on the older posts either. I will for sure be using this recipie for my Christmas Turkey! Thanks again!!!
ReplyDeleteMMMMM That is what mine was missing! Dried cherries would have been a fabulous addition! You are so cooL!
ReplyDeleteI just made this recipe last night it is very tasty. If you like cherries I just found a free cherry recipe book from Traverse Bay farms. It even has cherry juice recipes too.
ReplyDeleteEvery recipe you post looks incredible! You give such amazing photos and step by steps too. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you asked about my Thanksgiving recipes. Most of my recipes I used come from www.allrecipes.com Feel free to ask for any recipe that you're specifically interested in. Of course I don't mind sharing. ;)
