turkey day cookin'
since my kitchen is not quite functioning up to par, i managed to be responsible for the less invasive thanksgiving foods.....fresh cranberry sauce and miniture pumpkin pies. yumm-y. this was my first time making cranberry sauce from scratch and i must say it was the easiest thing. now i cannot figure out why on earth anyone would ever eat that canned junk. simple and sweet....cranberries, oj, sugar, brown sugar, touch of nutmeg and a splash of very good vanilla!! let it simmer for a while, sounds like popcorn popping and smells like heaven. the end result....yummy, fresh sauce. bye bye...canned jelly nastiness. my pies were simple too...same as big ones, just had to roll out dough and cut a million little circles. i do not know why i did not photograph them. they were too cute and quite delish, but honestly, even at their tiny size, we were all still too stuffed to enjoy them so i think next year i will just make pies the day after the holiday.....
