Cranberry Sauce

So, I've never really understood the appeal of that jelly log that slides out the can. You know what I'm talking about, we've all tried it and in some homes its a staple on Thanksgiving. As a kid, I always thought it was icky and, in turn, that all cranberry sauce was like that. And then, some years back in another life, I was working for a caterer and she made homemade cranberry sauce. From whole oranges and fresh cranberries. Let me tell you, it blew my mind. I'd never seen such a thing and was thoroughly impressed. 

With the preserving bug I caught recently, I decided that offering a fresh cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving would be a fun addition. And, after a few trials, I was rewarded with this....


Oh yea. Lovely, lovely cranberry sauce. Slightly sweet but with a nice cranberry punch, it's lightly spiced with cinnamon, allspice and cloves with a nice undercurrent of whole oranges. 

It will be a great accompaniment to your Thanksgiving turkey and the sandwiches the next day. Can you imagine a turkey and ham (yes, we do ham too!) sandwich with that sauce peeking out from the bread? Yum! 

I'll be making the sauce to order, so ping me if you'd like a jar. And don't forget that this would make a fantastic hostess gift if you've been invited to dine at someone's home.

Available in 2 sizes:
8oz     $5
16oz   $8

Please note: the cranberry sauce must be refrigerated.

And I have to tell you, in the process of testing recipes, we've been slathering it on toast in the morning -- Nolan is officially a HUGE fan of the cranberry sauce! 


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanksgiving -- Are you ready?

Thanksgiving is a mere two weeks away and it's time to get serious. While you scour all your cookbooks, magazines and online options for winning recipes, why not get a jump start and check one thing off your list now? Place an order for your Thanksgiving desserts and save your precious oven time for the turkey.

I'm currently offering a 10% discount if you order two or more pies. Mix and match from Pumpkin, Pecan, Chocolate Pecan and/or Apple. All pies are made with my signature all butter crust, it practically melts in your mouth!


And if pie isn't your thing, consider ordering some Pumpkin Spice cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese frosting instead (dozen minimum please). 



And for all those potluck-ers out there, bringing a homemade pie or some cupcakes is a guaranteed pleaser. Just planting some seeds....

Have a great Thanksgiving and I look forward to making your day all that much more stress-free.
