Happy Thanksgiving! We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with our little fam, and plenty of food. This Cranberry Sauce is good and easy. This is the second time I've made it. I halve the recipe, and reduce the sugar a little.
For Thanksgiving 2010, we enjoyed Roasted Turkey and Gravy, Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes, Slow Cooker Stuffing, corn, cool green cauliflower Romanesco, corn, this yummy Holiday Cranberry Sauce, and our favorite rolls. Dessert was key lime pie (made with lemons this time because we get fresh ones from our friend), and Maple Pecan Pie. Love Maple Pecan Pie!!!!
