Well it's that time of year to dig though all my recipes, try to find the best ones to make for Thanksgiving Dinner!
I keep notes each year of recipes used and food prepared in the past. I also pencil in tips to myself such as "fantastic" or "this was really yummy" or "not so good".
We have all the traditional food: Turkey, dressing, yams, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, etc. And I always have cranberries. But each year it seems many dinner guests do not like cranberries, and won't even try them! So in recent years I have been experimenting with different Cranberry Sauce recipes and came across this one in 2007. It was a big hit that Thanksgiving and all the years to follow. I hope you enjoy it!
