Cranberry Time.....

I LUV cranberries any way they are served !!

The Cranberry Sauce is what I  look forward to at our
Thanksgiving meal....and I made homemade cranberry sauce this year.
I like whole berry cranberry sauce
or the canned round kind.

I like cranberries in my chicken salad...
and I love them sprinkled in my salads...
and in my cereal....
and in homemade sweet breads...
one of my favorite cookie recipes has a handful of cranberries in the dough.

A sweet blogging friend made
CRANBERRY JAM
and I could hardly wait to make it, too.
Her name is LISA and you should go over .....
her blog is adorable, just like her.







Fresh
CRANBERRIES


Lisa said her recipe made only one tiny jar
and knowing, without a doubt, that I was going to LUV this,
I doubled the recipe and got TWO tiny jars.


The great thing is that it's such an easy and quick recipe,
you can have fresh CRANBERRY JAM before you can
turn around twice.



Stacy gave me this adorable butter dish
and I sure like it.

It's in the PIONEER WOMAN line and as cute as all her other items....


biscuits...
butter...
and CRANBERRY JAM is hard to beat.

HER RECIPE:

Cranberry Jam
1 cup of Cranberries
1 cup of Sugar
1/8 cup water
Tiny drop of vanilla (optional)
(I was worried this was not enough liquid but just wait.. It will be enough)

~Boil and stir all together until the cranberries start popping and soften. 
~Use an emerssion blender and blend until smooth and replace back on the stove. 
~cook on medium heat and stir until the jam makes a sticky coating on back of the spoon. 
~Pour into small mason jar. 

THAT'S IT! REALLY!

  2. I saw that recipe over on Lisa's blog. I just LOVE that girl! She's got spunk and is cute to boot!

    That looks delicious and I am glad you made some. I love cranberries, too. Did you know that Wisconsin produces the largest share of cranberries in the USA? There are huge cranberries bogs just west of us with the Ocean Spray signs posted on the farms.

    Have a wonderful weekend, bj. It is well below zero F here this morning- ugn! xo Diana

  4. That sounds a lot like my cranberry sauce recipe except that I also add oranges, maraschino cherries, apple and nuts to it. This would be SO good on this morning's toast!

  24. My, my, my what a lovely post. Cranberries are so very good for you, too. My Steve has stage 3 kidney disease and since finding this out I have been making him drink a tall glass of cranberry juice every morning, that and adding more broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts and kidney beans to his diet. He went in to see his doctor Friday and came out with a glowing report. His kidney function had improved quite a bit and the doctor was very happy. Big surprise, I always thought that kidney beans were named that because of their color and shape . . . wrong, they actually filterer out the kidneys and have been used by naturalist for hundreds of years:)
    Now I'm off to visit Lisa'a blog.
    Have a great week and do come visit,
    Connie :)

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
