I am looking at this because of the wine in the last recipe. It sure reads like it should be good. I thought it might resemble Rumtopf…which I just emailed you about :)

I love Alex’s mother’s cranberry sauce. I think it’s going to be my new favorite.

It reminds me of making your pumpkin black bean soup–I’ve been making it pretty much since you posted it, though my version is pretty much, open a few cans and stir the contents together. :)

J ust had to say that I made the first 2 recipes for thanksgiving and they were both a hugh hit, everyone loved one or the other or both, and I even got asked the recipes from some, so that is always a good thing, lol…Thanks again, Deb….

The recipe is great, I used the entire orange for juice and zest pieces. I also added two tablespoons of maple syrup with the homemade recipe, all things went well together. Very happy and it wasn’t hard to make at all, crowd loves it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I think that all three would be good in the fridge for almost a week.

Hi, Deb, or any poster.. noticed at the end of the third recipe you said the cranberry sauce could be made ahead and kept for a week, is that all of them or just the port wine and fig one??? gonna try the first and second ones.. thanks gonna be my first time making from scratch, always used canned….

Cranberry sauce…. I can never get enough, but unfortunately like Kirs my experience is limited strictly to the can-shaped. I’ll have to give this a try!

Last year, my sister in law made the one I think your mother in law was referring to (from Saveur – the cranberries were roasted and there was a jalapeno involved) and it was insanely delicious. I’d love to see your take on that.

Was browsing for cranberry sauce recipes to send to school with my three year old sons tomorrow. I didn’t think jalapeno would be quite as friendly to preschoolers, so I’ll probably go with your first recipe here.
