here are a few...

 

I'd use it like apple sauce or whole-berry cranberry sauce or chutney.

 

-Add a spoonful to oatmeal and swirl.

-Add to yogurt or a smoothie or vanilla pudding.

-Ice-milk topping.

-Shortcake or angel food cake topping.

-Condiment for root vegetable gratins or vegetable stews (yummers)

-mix with bread crumbs and stuff mushroons, and bake.

-Relish for a sandwich (alfa spouts)

-add to bread - maybe a white bread with rosemary and walnut and some of the

" jam " - adjust water.

-Swirl a tablespoon or two in a muffin recipe.

-A spread for toast or crackers or rice cakes

-Stir some in cooked basmati rice and add chopped green onion; maybe a few

almonds.

-Mix some with orange juice or vegetable broth to dress a spinach salad.

-Mix with juice and dress fruit cocktail (melon comes to mind as maybe a good

thing.)

I've been lurking for a while, but this caught my eye. I took a cooking

class a few years ago, where I learned how to make, among other things,

homemade cranberry sauce. (I'll include that.) Just as we were finishing

up with it, the chef got a shipment of Gorgonzola. He had us all taste the

Gorgonzola on Italian bread with Cranberry Sauce on top. I imagine this

would work the same way.

 

Also, I was just at a restaurant yesterday, and had the most wonderful

baked brie with apple chutney. Again, I think this relish could work as well.

12 oz Cranberries

2 1/2 cups Sugar -- or less, to taste

1/2 cup Orange Juice

1/2 cup Water

4 Cinnamon Sticks

Cranberry Juice -- optional

Dried Cranberries -- optional

 

In a saucepan, combine cranberries, orange juice, water, sugar, and

desired. Continue simmering until done (cranberries will turn red

again). When still hot, sauce will be liquid. Don't worry!

NOTES : cranberries have pectin in them, a natural gelatin that thickens

the sauce

 

Can refrigerate a few weeks or freeze (we've refrigerated this for much

longer without a problem, particularly the alcoholic version). Keep

cinnamon stick in.
