My wife likes my cranberry sauce so much she has me make it whenever cranberries are available.Into a saucepan drop:I lb cranberries, I cup orange juice, 1 cup sugar, zest of one orange.Cook over medium heat, (use a potato masher to smash the berries,) until boiling and thickened.Add 1 Tbls or more chopped candied ginger.
Pour into a serving bowl.Stir in a snack size container of pears, drained.Cool and serve.
My dear departed sisters cranberry relish is totally the best. Not remotely sorry.Can o' whole cranberry or two cans if you want to make a vatHandful of crushed walnuts or pecans or both or leave them out if allergic but the crunch is fabulousIf you can find em a few kumquats peeled with a big long drizzle of honey and put in the blender until mulched into tiny shredsA ripe navel orange with some of the zest grated - to your taste - I use about a tablespoon per canThrow the sectioned orange into the already used blender and chopDice a bunch of celery with the tender leaf thrown in adding more crunchRefrigerate the leftovers and use on sandwiches with a dollop of mayo and leaf lettuce
The bigger question: Why are people hosting these MAGA trash if they can't be trusted to not start some political bull at the holiday table?
Personally, I've cut out all MAGA people from my life, including pretty much my entire extended family. I strongly feel that nothing is going to change as long as they are allowed to have their cake and eat it to. They should be shamed, shunned, and not welcomed back to our tables until they can come back to objective reality and renounce their hatred (that was why I cut off my family; I could no longer abide the explicit racism, homophobia, misogyny, etc.).
As long as we accommodate this and play nice with it, it will never go away.
I made this last year and I can attest that it is *delicious*. It was a really welcome change-up from the rather pedestrian cranberry-orange sauce I make each year.
I adore cranberries and prefer them raw. Tonight I shall soak dates and a vanilla bean in pure water. In the morning I’ll slip the skins from the dates and check for pits, then process into date paste. That along with an array of sweet spices will sweeten the berries, oranges (mandarin this time) and zest. A grind of Himalayan salt finishes it. I give a portion to my neighbor every year; his I make sweeter.
I'm apparently missing a whole world of wonderment because I can't stand cranberries. I'm usually pretty mellow with most foods, but cranberries? I hate them like they were Republicans.
I'll admit it, I've make the big party size vegetarian one for the two of us, then we eat leftovers for a few days. Love that shit. I wish they made it in a smaller size though.

Craisins (name invented by a good friend of my niece!) are my secret ingredient in chicken salad - flavor and color.
Wishing I can host FRIGHTSGIVING (friendsgiving, but with horror movies) but I live in a tiny unaccommodating studio apartment. Ho hum.

Come sit by me...
I bought my feast yesterday, Central Market was super busy and I cannot ever consider going there today. Maybe Kroger, much later tonight.
Yes, yes it is.
I made this today, except I used cardamom in it. Great recipe.

Cardamom for me, too.
same. Also I had crystallized ginger so I sprinkled that on top :D
Stovetop is delicious. That and Stouffer's lasagna are two packaged foods that do a GREAT FUCKIN JOB.
Pro-tip: Having a party? Stouffer's veggie lasagna is great to have on the table for vegetarians, and it's delicious too.
