Successful no fuss Christmas dinner for eight
I bought a large stuffed turkey breast from our local organic meat
provider. We had mashed potatoes and my signature cranberry sauce:
Preparation time, under 5 minutes
Cooking time, varies but about 8-10 minutes
2 pkg fresh cranberries
1.33 cup fructose (or 2 cups regular sugar)
1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped fine
1/2 cup water
Cook the cranberries on medium heat until they begin to pop, add
water, ginger, sugar and stir. Avoid causing bubbling as it can be
very painful. Cook only until pieces are burst and there is syrup
but not until all of them are mushed. You don't want it to reduce at
all. Best eaten hot. It should be tart and sweet at the same time.
We had no leftovers to speak of.
Tonight, we're doing a stuffed pork roast from the same provider.
Not having to dick with the food is taking a lot of the pressure off
the cook (moi).
