Have to confess I serve the canned stuff. This looks like a great recipe to try this year!
Every year I buy a bag of cranberries with plans to do something and my mom always has a can too. And most years we forget the cranberries until the end of the meal. I love cranberries and this recipe looks yummy. May actually try it this year
Try adding the cranberries to a sweet potato casserole….I do this and it is wonderful, just the right amount of punch to the usually overly sweet “yams”! I also make a chipotle sweet potato casserole with the cranberries (spicy, sweet and sour….wonderful) just a little bit of chipotle in with the “yams” goes a very long way.
Interesting with the mustard. I would not have thought of using that.
Oh my ! That looks fantastic and I bet it tastes good too. I’ve tried making my own in years ago, but for the past few years I’ve been “canning” it. I never tried [making or eating] the one with blueberries & mustard tho. Must give a nice gentle “kick”. Thanks for posting.
everyone loves turkey
I like to soak my turkey in a brine before slow cooking it on grill/BBBQ out side,Your receipr does sound good though,
Sounds like “let’s give it a try….couldn’t hurt “
this year i’m trying a new cranberry salsa from saveur. it has jalapenos which will give it some zip!
oh now Im going to be looking for that recipe!!
Worth trying!!
I like the canned,the colder the better.
I LOVE the idea of adding blueberries, to sweeten it a bit more…and the mustard just makes it perfect! Can’t wait to try it this year
I love freshly made cranberry sauce and make it all of the time. I never used mustard, but I love all types of mustard, so I will give this a try. Sounds fantastic!
I MAKE MY OWN CRANBERRY SUACE
MY SECRET INGREDIENT IS…
YOU THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO TELL
I’ve never ventured with making cranberry sauce from scratch. But I do like to mix the gelled with cranberry sauce, add some cinnamon, a touch of lemon zest, and a little brown suga:) My family has never made pumkin pies either! We make butternut squash pie or sweet potato pie;)
I am so excited. I was just writing up my menu for Thanksgiving and was thinking that I have to find a new, different recipe for home-made cranberry sauce. Thank you!
This would make a perfect First Thanksgiving Dinner for myself (recently widowed) and my grown son, who moved back in with me, so there was someone here to watch over “Mom”. I’ve just found this site, and have already bookmarked many new recipes to try!
Good Luck to all, and Happy Holidays!
This cranberry sauce sounds exciting. I too, always have to open the traditional, boring can of jellied cranberries for my mother. I usually make a cranberry and mixed fruit compote that I serve for dessert.
Sounds Delish! I think this is going to be a winner when I make it this year.
I had never heard of Chive Biscuits. I think I will give then a try.
Thoe Bisquits sound so good and i do use canned cramberries
Combining with mustard is a unique idea, but I love my fresh cranberry sauce recipe with mandarin oranges to keep it sweet!
I ALWAYS BUY THE FROZEN ROLLS
Are we supposed to be answering here? I left my comment on the actual post but maybe I should leave it he too.
Anyway I said I serve canned cranberries.
Thanks!
Wish my turkey came out as beautiful as the one shown in the picture. Guess I’ll have to keep practicing. Gotta love turkey.
These sound amazing!
The biscuits sound like a good idea, but soy milk and vinegar????? Hmmmm.
I will definitely try these biscuits. I kind of cheat – not scratch and not frozen. I buy pizza dough, doctor it up a bit and then make muffins from that dough.
my daughter is interested in cutting down on gluten. i am glad to see you have a section of such recipes. thanks.
i love anything with sweet potatoes or pumkin
Looks beautiful and delicious. Can’t wait to try it!!!!!
I love it all! But mostly the mashed potatoes.
I love challah stuffing. I save all different types of left over challah. This changes the flavor ever so slightly. A HIT !
I love turkey with lots of gravy or should I say gravy with turkey. My best Thanksgiving moment was when I left my newly cooked turkey on the kitchen table and my cat jumped up on the kitchen table and started eating it, I cried!
Looks wonderful, my family is crazy about sweet potatoes. Your recipes are unique and beautiful and look so yummy.
I love Turkey ,and want to find new ways to cook and prepare It.
I hope I am one of the lucky winners
I would like to win this turkey because my grandkids would be very happy.
this year’s menu: turkey in mole sauce (rick bayless recipe from saveur), brussels sprouts with chorizo (just found kosher sausage), a green salad with toasted nuts and dried fruit, roasted potatoes (sweet, yukon, russet) and parsnips, either a mexican rice pilaf or a oaxacan stuffing, chutney and cranberry salsa, maybe green beans with pine nuts and pies (emeril lagasse’s chocolate pecan and an apple/quince). so excited. and we’re adding in a book discussion (t.c. boyle’s the tortilla curtain) to discuss immigration, coming to a new country and the divide between the anglo and the (in this case latino) immigrant, all of which relate to our “latino” themed meal this year. then we’re repeating everything only with milchigs (so we can have whipped cream and such) for our friday shabbos meal. can’t wait to get cooking!
Every year I make a NEW cranberry recipe and a NEW stuffing/dressing recipe.
My favorite side dish has been the cranberry sauce ever since I was a child.
mhhh homemade cranberry sauce / salad
pass crancbery sauce . like dried cranberry n turkey
I never liked sweet potatoes until the last couple of years. This recipe looks yummy.
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is that my mother made so many deserts for 15 guests that each person was able to have there own cake. We use to line up the desert all the was down the dining room table. Also another memory is sitting at the kids table.
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is the year (many, many of them ago) that my mom made her usual feast and invited various relatives. We waited and waited for one couple to show up but they never called and were very late appearing. We began to eat without them when suddenly they both appeared at the front door – they both had casts on their arms, each on opposite arms. It seems they had gone ice skating in the morning and fell while dancing on the ice and they each broke an arm! Amazingly, they managed to eat their share of dinner, too.
fresh always!!!
my favorite thanksgiving side dish is ….all of them!!! from cranberry relish, to pumpkin pie…and the stuffing!!!! yum yum!and i would love to win that turkey!!
My favorite Thanksgiving memory is getting together with all my aunts, uncles and cousins. My mother is one of 6 so we were quite a large crowd. The kids, of course, were always in the basement. My aunt would make a cranberry jello mold- still don’t know who eats that, but it made every Thanksgiving table. It was really great fun and great memories.
These days I make Thanksgiving for my husbands’ family. One of my favorite dishes is whipped sweet potatoes with rum- delicious!!
Wow, mustard -who would have thought! I’ll have to try that
Our favorite side is a sweet potato casserole that we also enjoy on Passover. I add an egg yolk,one tablespoon of honey and 1/2 cup of matzo meal to 3 large mashed sweet potatoes. I then make a quick meringue with the stiffly beaten egg white to which I have added one tablespoon of sugar. Bake in a lightly oiled 9″ round pan for 20 minutes at 350 degrees till the meringue is light brown in color and firm.
We do not eat marshmallows with our meat dishes in the Land Down Under and we are very proud of our meringue recipes. This one is simple, delicious, fits in with the Thanksgiving theme and is always demolished. So much for the Americanization of the Aussies!
LOve homemade cranberry sauce. But always have to also buy the canned sauce that retains its can-shape after you remove it, because my sister-in-law will eat nothing else.
my mom made the best cranberry sauce….from fresh cranberrys
I luv marshmallow sweet potatoes
My daughter made up this recipe: 5 diced small sweet potatoes, 1 butternut squash and 4 apples with the skin left on. A dash of cinnamon…toss like a salad, bake uncovered until soft…about 1 – 1 1/2 hours. Delish
I’m going to try your Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow Topping recipe for Thanksgiving. Your turkey photo is perfection, I try every year to get mine to look like that!
My Savta’s recipe for Cranberry sauce uses the canned whole berry sauce, adds a pint of defrosted frozen chopped strawberries, a cup of chopped walnuts, a can of pineapple tidbits and some cinnamon. It’s amazing and I make it for Thanksgiving and Pesach(you can’t have enough condoments on Pesach). So Yummy, this year I’ve heard three Food Network Chefs recomend Kosher turkeys if you don’t want to do the brineing yourself. Kosher turkeys are salted in the kashering process and therefor act and taste like a traditionaly brined turkeys, can’t wait YUMMO!
I want to try the pumpkin pie recipe
I’ve always just done the traditional type pie. I would like to try a twist sometime but I think I’ll stick with tradition for the Thanksgiving meal!
I make a cranberry chutney with golden raisins, walnuts, an apple, orange and fresh cranberries which is really tasty. Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year, we have so much to be thankful for!
Sweet Potatoes with marshmellows. My grandmother use to add pineapple to the recipe.
never been a big fan of pumpkin pie, but my mother always made a mean apple pie – none better – and I GOT THE RECIPE!!!!!!!
