I like to slice off a finger or two, dice finely, toss it in. Adds that subtle, aged gin-and-tabasco flavour all my flesh carries. And mine grow back anyway.

Because we weren't depressed enough. "Kick-out-the-Chair Ken," we used to call him.

Word of warning about adding the orange zest: don't get the "white stuff" under the zest in this (or get as little as possible) as it is bitter. If you want a more "citrusy" taste, add some lemon zest. Any yeah, the homemade cranberry sauce is hugely better than that odd canned stuff. Whether you add the booze or not.

It's just not "real" cranberry sauce if it's not a perfect cylinder, complete with the ridges from the can.

My grandson couldn't remember what lingonberries were called. So when we went to IKEA he asked for "Newman" berries instead.

Which kinda relates to both your comments.

Mrs' Don't's son fried a turkey a few years ago, and it was pretty fkn awesome. He had injected it with a brine solution earlier, maybe the day before.

I did a sous vide turkey breast last year. Came out pretty juicy. It helped that it was sealed into the plastic with many sprigs of fresh rosemary.

That looks like what I usually do, but I think this year I'm going to try the "Grandma's" recipe that was posted. It looks delicious.
