It's that special time of year when we all give thanks for 25% real unemployment, the never-ending real-estate collapse, terrible schools, broken infrastructure and a bunch of mouth-breathing cretins sticking their hands up Granny's hoo-ha at the airport. And that means we should all gather around the oven and watch Aunt Wonkette make its world-famous boozed-up cranberry sauce!
I am def trying this I like the idea of bourbon. I love cranberry business. For those who don't have an oven and will be cooking hobo style. My recipe calls for throwing two bags in a pot with 2 cups water and 2 cups sugar. Make it start to boil then toss in 1/2 whole orange squashed up in a food processor or beaten with a club into itty bits. Take the pot off the fire and toss in the crushed orange and pour in Grand Marnier. Makes a huge pot of cranberry with leftover to be frozen and eaten weeks later when I am so fucking blue from Winter and the chicken looks sad.
I live in NYC. The Grand Marnier is stolen and hobos are always using the secret hobo outlet in the subway FYI. If you are lost in the woods out on Long Island it's okay to use the Palin Ya gotta club it! method. If you are lost in New Jersey steal a can of Cranberry Gel or break into a house where they went to Grandma's. If you live in Colorado I think it's not a called hobo fire any more.
Thanks Ken, This looks like a pretty good recipe. My mom used to have the canned stuff and no one (except her) ate it. Then one year, she made her own (I think the recipe was on the bag), added some OJ and everyone ate it. No one (including her) knew why she had used the canned stuff all those years. Homemade cranberry relish is great and this one looks good.
You know what would be even cooler? If your guests mixed the ingredients directly in their mouth, like Margaritas on one of those Girls Gone Wild videos. You could probably get away with just serving cranberry sauce.
"“double the recipe” does not mean set the oven to 700 degrees instead of 350"
You laugh, but for years after my mom left him, my dad would ask me if cooking instructions meant that the oven was supposed to be set on bake or broil. I could see him doing this.
How much cheese and butter do you need to add? I think you forgot that part of the recipe.
This is way better than Susan Stamberg's cranberry relish with horseradish recipe.
I'm in. Finally a cook book for snarky.

I tried this last year. It improves the flavor if you increase the bourbon and leave out all those yucky cranberries.
I like the sound that the canned cranberry goop makes as it exits the can. The taste, not so much.
Only if you are cooking in the Target parking lot. Or at a wild teenage party.

or maybe like a Jello shot.
