Mrs. fidelis makes a cranberry sauce that over the years has become a Thanksgiving and Christmas favorite to the point she dare not show up at family gatherings without it. It’s always gets eaten up in a flash. Needless to say, it isn’t plain cranberry, but has lots of yummy ingredients. Our niece has learned the recipe to carry on the family tradition.
Mrs. BlackElk would make homemade cranberry sauce that was just fine. BlackElk (RIP) himself preferred the canned Ocean Spray stuff. On these sorts of things she would tease him for being a Philistine on these matters.
Sounds great!
Lucky you.
Thanksgiving was always most important in my family. Giving thanks, sharing fellowship and being grateful for a good year, good harvest and good hunting and fishing. It was a real thing growing up in the NE. The 0-degree freezer needed to be stocked to make it thru the long winter. There were several years when I was away at school that in spring my mother called and thanked me for stocking the freezer with so many fish fillets.
I think Thanksgiving is one of America’s most sacred and important holidays. We are all thankful and grateful to share our bounty with others.
I love home made cranberry sauce. Easy and delicious.
