Good Noms celebrates late Thanksgiving

Today Good Noms brings you a delicious and natural alternative to the jiggly and ribbed canned cranberry sauce. This recipe is really easy to make, tastes great, and is a hit with most eaters.
You will need:
  • 1 cup orange juice.
  • between 1/2 and 1 cup sugar. I used closer to 1/2 because it seemed 1 full cup made the sauce too sweet (for me) last time.
  • 1 package cranberries
Heat up the o-j and the sugar in a pot so that the sugar dissolves. Add the cranberries.
You will then bring the pot to a boil (the skins on the berries will begin to pop), and then simmer it for about 15 minutes. The berries will begin to lose their shape, and the sugar juice will begin to turn red. Transfer to a dish and chill for a while before serving (but don't worry too much because we ate ours still warm this year and it was still good).

All in all I had to think a lot about what I was going to write about this week as my co-chef and I are traveling all over NY this week (say hello to future in-laws kitchen!). As you see with minimum effort and time even more delicious food (as opposed to traditional Thanksgiving fare) is possible. I also made a pie (which isn't Good-Noms worthy due to store-bought crust). Happy Thanksgiving.

  2. Thanks! It's tart and sweet, tastes more like something you would eat on your morning toast.
