Cranberries, anyone?

[prosodic]

A friend at work gave me a recipe for cranberry sauce.

I just made some.

Holy crap. I think I'll be eating cranberry sauce until Christmas.

Note to self for future reference: make a HALF batch. Good grief.

Oh, and for those interested...it's really easy, so you don't have to serve that crap out of a can (the only thing that's good for is meatballs, when mixed with cocktail sauce).

Simple Cranberry Sauce

- 2 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
- pumpkin pie spice or similar spices to taste
- orange peel to taste (optional...and this was something I added to the recipe)
- 4 cups cranberries

Boil water and sugar together on medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Add spices. Then add cranberries.

Cook until cranberries burst, stirring occasionally.

Cover and cool. Sauce will thicken as it cools.

If you're not feeding an army, halve this recipe. I still have about 2 cups of leftover cranberries, which I put in the freezer. So I may make a half batch around Christmas.

I make this a lot myself. I also make a plain cheesecake that isn't too sugary and put the cranberry sauce on top--that is REALLY good.

Damn. Lance and I just had a couple of slices of plain cheesecake last night. Before I made the sauce.
