So....I couldn't wait until Thanksgiving. I whipped up a batch of homemade,
whole-berry cranberry sauce tonight just for fun. It's gooood. The only thing I
could think of to do with it was combine it with plain yogurt, honey, and
granola. Very good! I'm wondering, what else is cranberry sauce good for?
Besides the obvious, I mean.
Thanks in advance.

I was talking to Hag in the chat channel...She uses the cranberry sauce for
a glaze on pork and Chicken.

Are we talking the cran orange thingie made with say a bag of cranberries
the juice and zest of 1 orange and (well the recipe says 1.5 cups sugar but
that's too sweet for me) so 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar.

Dump the lot in a pot at a medium to medium low temp and bring slowly to a
simmer/slow boil await the busting of the berries while stiring every now
and then. Optional stuff are orange liquor and toasted almond slices.

This is awsome as a relish with a turkey too. Keeps about a week in the
fridge (sealed container).

I just checked my recipes and I have three using cranberries: a
cranberry-orange glazed gingerbread ring cake (sort of an upside-down
cake), a glaze for pork roast, and a "usual" ground turkey
meatloaf-esque thing with a cranberry topping.

Mix some in with a recipe for white cake. Just use the sauce instead of some
other liquid if it is not real thick sauce. Cranberry cake is great
especially with cream cheese icing also mixed with some of the cranberry sauce.

Mix the cranberry sauce with tomato sauce and meatballs. The cranberry
sauce will give the tomato sauce a bit of a pert sweet flavor. This goes
great over plain steamed white rice.

Mix with some chopped canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and serve
with softened cream cheese and crackers or use as a glaze on meats.

Though
risking a charge of food abuse, may I mention using whole berry sauce in
a jello salad? A lady in my congregation made a lovey mold using whole
cranberry sauce, cream cheese, and orange jello.

sounded quite nice.

I'm with you, Jen. If they sold fresh cranberries year
round, I would buy them year round. I like to add some
dried cherries to thicken up the sauce. I made a batch this
week for a potluck and they practically licked the bowl
clean! And there is nothing better to put on French toast,
IMO.

Sorry. I thought this was one the recipes I hadn't yet typed into the
computer yet, but I double-checked and found it (yeah, someday I'll get
them all in :) ). Here it is. It's a microwave cake that actually
comes out good. Instead of the 8" square pan I used a ring mold and
didn't need the foil.

--Charlene


CRANBERRY-ORANGE GLAZED GINGERBREAD

YIELD: 9 servings

1½ cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
2 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
¼ cup molasses
¾ cup buttermilk
Whipped cream

In an 8" square glass baking dish, place cranberries, 1/3 cup sugar, 2
Tablespoons butter, and orange rind.

Microwave on HIGH 3 minutes, until butter is melted.

Stir mixture and spread evenly in pan; set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, soda, ginger, cinnamon, and
nutmeg; set aside.

In large mixer bowl, cream remaining butter and sugar until light and
fluffy.

Add egg, then molasses and beat well.

Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately while mixing at low speed.

Pour batter over cranberry mixture in pan.

Shield corners of pan with aluminum foil square.

Place pan on an inverted saucer in oven.

Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) 6 minutes, rotating pan ¼ turn if needed,
halfway through cooking time.

Continue to cook at HIGH 7-10 minutes until center is set not firm.
Remove foil during last 2 minutes of cooking time.

Cool directly on countertop 10 minutes before turning out onto serving
plate. Serve warm with whipped cream.

I used to keep the troops happy with cranberry sweet rolls. Just use a
standard sweet roll dough and use the
cranberry sauce as the filling. glaze with icing made of powdered sugar,
butter and cranberry sauce.
Make, bake and then stand back and watch the rolls disappear!

It looks yummy, thanks! I don't have a microwave, so I'll have to
"adapt" it to a regular oven.

Latest Cooking Light has some yummy looking cranberry recipes. Cranberry
tart, cranberry-apple pork ... actually the Sunset arrived at the same
time so I don't know if the cranberry "jam" tart was CL or Sunset. But
it's an excellent idea.

You could put it through the food mill, freeze the results, and have a
cranberry sorbet/granita.

Fine Cooking has a fresh cranberry and walnut coffee cake thing that I
also want to try.

One of my favorite muffins are made with 1/2 can canned whole cranberry sauce
and 1/2 can of canned pumpkin. I don't even measure - just eyeball. I mix
pumpkin in thoroughly and gently fold in cranberry sauce - they're unbelievably
moist. Just use a basic muffin recipe with cinnamon and fresh nutmeg.
