Thanksgiving - What Worked 2

The best ever 'Cranberry' Sauce.

Summerhill Market was selling fresh partridge berries in little strawberry-box containers, so I picked one up to experiment with.

I dumped them into a little non-stick frypan after I got the following ingredients going -

- a couple handfuls of dried & sweetened cranberries (craisins?)
- a couple tablespoons of Korean Plum Tea (- actually a tart plum jam)
- a splash each of rosewater and Cherry (Grand)Marinier.

I didn't cook it too long - just so that the berries started to break down a bit. Letting it sit off heat let the craisins plump up even more.

Great stuff!

Thanksgiving - What Worked!

Almost everything was a success this Thanksgiving. Some things got raved about - this snack was one of them.

I'm usually not a fan of pretzels, but love these flattened-out pretzel crisps. They deliver that roasty exterior pretzel taste without the drywall-like interior.

I had three dips but the one that people scooped up first was this one-

Warning!: this is evil stuff, and probably shouldn't be allowed. Don't tell people what's in it and don't mention it to your doctor.

Take some soft-"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter"-style margarine and some honey. Mix it up briskly until it's combined and a little bit unrecognisable. Major yum!
