Jellied v. whole berries
 Cranberry sauce is one of my favorite things about Thankgiving Day dinner. My sister usually jokes, "Want some dressing with your cranberry sauce?" (Yes, we eat dressing, not stuffing, in my family. I think some Southern traditions - like chess pie - will live on forever...)
My mom makes a cranberry relish (it's quite similar to this cranberry chutney recipe on the Williams-Sonoma Web site). But she also plops a cynlinder of jellied, shivering cranberry sauce into a bowl on Turkey Day. Some people prefer one over the other. Others don't care and reach for whatever is nearest... I love the way whole cranberries pop when you eat them, and the tart bite they have which balances so well with oranges, pecans, etc... But I have to say that I sorta like the jellied version, too. I like a little kitsch every now and again...

Post a Comment*I reach for whatever is closest.
But the jiggly can shaped jelly stuff...that is what has to go on the leftover turkey sammich.
I reach for my mom's frozen cranberry salad. Cranberries and apples are ground together and mixed with whipping cream, chopped nuts and miniature marshmallows before being frozen. My mom got the recipe when she took a catering class when she was working on her M.S. in dietitics. Turns out the professor got the recipe from a caterer who wasn't too happy that the teacher shared it with her class. Our family is so glad she did!
Oh, yes... The turkey sammiches... You just have to hurry up and make yours before anyone else comes in the kitchen, lest you are forced into the role of a sandwich artist.
Or you can wait until someone else goes in to make one.
Wait for it... Wait for it... Pounce! "Hey, can you make one for me, while you're in there anyway...?" Yesssssss...
I love homemade cranberry sauce. I make it with pineapple and walnuts. It's delicious.
