Cranberry sauce
As Thanksgiving approached, I kept seeing recipes for making cranberry sauce. It never really occurred to me to make cranberry sauce myself, but upon seeing how easy it was I wanted to give it a go.
So what you want to do is throw a package of fresh cranberries, a cup or so of sugar and optional flavorings in a saucepan and cook until it looks like, well, sauce. I’d use a bit less than a cup of sugar next time, but not too much less (cranberries are tart!). You can also add a little alcohol (Jack Daniel’s perhaps, or some bourbon) and/or water to get the mixture moving. Orange is a natural with cranberries, and you could add zest, juice or a little concentrate (as I did). Cinnamon would work here, too, but I actually used no spices at all. So easy. So delicious.
