Wow - what a great idea!!! I would have never thought of it, but reading it just now makes my mouth water! Made pumpkin and pecan pies for the family gathering today - and will be making my own Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings for friends on Sunday. Power went out for several hours and we were thankful we'd just finished baking the turkey and heating up the garlic mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. We had to finish the gravy and heat up the rolls on the BBQ - gotta love living in Southern California

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I made some cranberry apple jam that tastes like cranberry sauce...it is awesome on a hot roll fresh from the oven!

Cranberry Apple Jam

2 bags Cranberries (approx 6 cups)
8-10 medium apples - I used 4 different varieties
1 20oz can of crushed pineapple
4-5 cups of sugar (taste before adding the fifth)

Mix everything together and cook down. Bring to a rolling boil and hold 8-10 minutes or until thick and jam like.

Process in HWB pints 15 minutes, 1/2 pints 10 minutes.

I made my favorite bread recipe and orange cookies last night. No pics of the bread, I've posted it before. I don't have good lighting for pictures, but these will have to do.

Today is a day off for me so I'm going to be baking multigrain bread loaves, cranberry nut bread, and another batch of the Friendship bread.....maybe apple walnut or pumpkin.

Update: just took the apple cranberry pecan Friendship Bread out of the oven and sampled a small slice that was still warm. Delicious! This was a trial of sorts because all the recipes I have seen for cranberry friendship bread used dried cranberries and since I had fresh cranberries on hand, I wanted to experiment.

Here is how I made it:

oven set to 325 degrees F

one large 9x5 loaf pan or 4-5 mini loaf pans (what I used) sprayed with cooking spray and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar

Apple Cranberry Pecan Friendship Bread

1 cup of the Friendship Bread starter
1/2 cup applesauce (I used one of the snack packs sold in the 6 packs)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 t salt
1 t vanilla
1 t cinnamon (you can use 1 1/2 t for a stronger cinnamon flavor)
2/3 to 3/4 cup sugar (recipe calls for 1 cup sugar if you want it sweeter)
2 cup regular all-purpose flour
1 1/4 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda

1/2 cup chopped or halved fresh cranberries
1/2 to 3/4 cup finely diced fresh apple
1/2 to 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans (or walnuts)

I mixed all in order in my mixer, stirring in the cranberries, apples, and pecans lastly just briefly to mix in well. Put in the pan(s) you are using. I used 4 non-stick mini loaf pans to make a nice size for gift giving.

Bake the large loaf at 325 for 1 hour. Bake the mini loaves at 325 for about 35 minutes, checking them at 30 minutes. When the loaves look dry-ish on the top and a toothpick inserted comes out with no wet batter on it, the loaves are done. Cool in pan about 5 minutes, then turn out on a rack to cool completely.

I really like the tartness of the fresh cranberries mixed into the sweet (but not too sweet) bread batter. When completely cooled and wrapped in plastic wrap, I will put a label on each mini loaf, freeze them, then put several loaves in a heavy zip bag. My mom asked me to make these to give as gifts to the aides who help take care of my Dad. I plan to give the mini loaves to my co-workers as holiday gifts later this month. The mini loaf is a good size for just about anyone, or you could give a trio of mini loaves of different breads to a larger family.

These breads would be great to have in the morning with breakfast, as a snack with a cup of tea or coffee, or put out on a holiday open house or brunch buffet.
