My sister couldn’t join us for TDay in Central CA so she asked for a do-over in early Dec. She and I both contributed food and gathered with my parents for a good time of visiting, gnom gnom, and XMas tree decorating. ![]()

One of my contributions was my favorite cranberry sauce, crafted from a spiced orange version some years ago.
I love this stuff! I put it on *everything*: TDay meats (ham, turkey), mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (unless they have marshmallows on top), and stuffing.
TIP: I like to make the night before needed so that it really cools/gels overnight in the fridge.
