fall is my favorite season



I am a simple girl.

You Will Need:

1 bag of cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
(that's it--seriously)

To Make:

Bring all the ingredients to a boil together in a large pot. Turn heat down to low and let bubble/simmer for about ten minutes--I don't let mine go for that long because I like my sauce pretty chunky and still loaded with lots of whole berries. Remove from the heat and let cool for a time, then transfer contents to a container and refrigerate until thoroughly "gelled". Serve cold and delicious.

And a full clove of garlic... I'm telling you, that picture is misleading. Save a little of this for me to eat on Monday, will you? I'm going to be famished after all of the hugging we are going to do.

oh! i hope i'm not too late for you, fash. there's so many things i'd have loved to tell you to cook, but basically anything this woman says is pure gold: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/thanksgiving-recipes-recipe.html.

but, seriously, everybody loves the one who brings dessert...and you can't get any more authentically thanksgiving than pumpkin pie. this is a killer recipe that i recommend trying even if it's NOT a holiday: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/recipes/2006/11/19/apple-butter-pumpkin-pie/
