* with the approach of thanksgiving i am reposting my favorite recipe for cranberry sauce. it is easy and delicious and you can rest easy knowing that there are NO RAISINS in it… none of us needs that kind of added stress during this pandemic. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! x0x

there are few things in this world as disgusting as raisins. they look like droppings, get stuck in your teeth (marring your smile and causing cavities) and are notorious for popping up in all kinds of baked goods (scones, muffins, cookies) that should only have chocolate chips.  and unfortunately, because of their size and color, raisins sometimes appear to be chocolate, which is a terrible surprise for the unsuspecting consumer.

cranberries, on the other hand, are delicious.  sadly, many a thanksgiving cranberry sauce is contaminated with raisins (or orange peels or too many spices.) following is a simple, super yummy cranberry recipe that all of your thanksgiving guests can enjoy without fear of biting into a raisin. ENJOY and happy thanksgiving.

12 oz bag of fresh cranberries

1 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

12 oz bag of frozen raspberries

cook cranberries, sugar and water on the stove top until the cranberries pop (about 5 minutes.) stir in frozen raspberries and let sit a bit.  you can make the day before and save a little time on the big day.
