I don’t like cranberry sauce, but I like cranberries, especially on a turkey sandwich. Could I possibly like cranberry sauce if it’s on the sandwich?

How about a cranberry, orange and apple relish?

How about a cranberry, orange and apple relish?

I’ve never had it with apple, but I know I don’t like it with orange.

I’ve never had it with apple, but I know I don’t like it with orange.

I can believe that since it does include the orange rind,

I had a Cranberry Orange muffin for breakfast.

If you find a good recipe, let me know! I have a GF friend that’d love that.

I surely will!

Doesn’t he like cauliflower crust?

The perfect emoji: That is his reaction. I like it just fine.

OK, I’m back. I needed that break. Now I need to say a few things.

First, to everyone here, I do plan on staying now. I originally did think that people didn’t care about what I posted, that thoughts been lingering for a few days. I’m over it now. I guess I’m just feeling antsy and on edge because my main emotional support group is in Mexico on vacation.

Second, @R2elk I apologize for starting an argument. What I said was out of line. I was only upset because I was excited to share the results of my experiments, and I felt like you were bringing me down. I’m NOT saying you’re a cyber bully, all I’m saying is I’ve had way too many experiences with people who bashed me for good things I did on forums. Kinda have some trauma from it, and I felt like I was being bashed again. I know you’re not a cyber bully, but the emotion was still there. I hope you can forgive me.

Third, thank you all for helping me through this hard time. I appreciate the support I get here. Like I said, my folks are in Mexico on vacation, and I’m still trying to adjust to them not being here for a while.

Fourth, @ronott1 my sourdough starter still has the problem where it rises beautifully, but it’s not sour. I’m going to try a recipe in a few days, and this time adjust the amount of starter like the recipe says. If that doesn’t fix it, I don’t know what to do.

That’s all,

Jared

Add 1/2tsp citric acid per loaf.

Our Thanksgiving meal rarely differs from this:

Turkey with stuffing.
Mashed potatoes with gravy.
Cranberry sauce for me.
Lemon meringue pie for DH.

 

[HumbleAmerican]

Building smoked turkey
Sourdough/cornbread stuffing (cooking the sourdough and cornbread this weekend so I can put it in dehydrator to make croutons)
Green bean casserole
Mashed taters and giblet gravy
Sourdough rolls
And some of that cranberry stuff for the wife.

We keep it small. Only 10-13 people this year. I've fed as many as 30. I make enough to feed 6-8 extra people. My house is come one/all for Thanksgiving.

I bake the bread for 20 minutes in the Dutch oven or the baker. I then take the bread out of the baker and put in onto a cold cookie sheet and then back into the oven to crisp.

This keeps the bottom from scorching too much

The bread looks good to me!

I don’t like chunky cranberry sauce, and I hate it when it’s too sweet. I add only enough sugar to take the edge off the cranberries but enough to keep that lovely tartness. I have a satsuma tree that’s about ready for picking, so I use those in my holiday cooking and baking. Might do jam this year! I did marmalade last year and it was great.
