Will the texture be effected if I then freeze it? - Mike

In my experience, cranberries freeze well, whether whole, minced,

The apples could go mushy. Cranberry-Orange w/Grand Marnier freezes
beautifully.

Certainly: I am actually a fan of the Frank Mankowitz recipe as
described by Susan Sanburg of NPR. Open one end of the can; then open
the other, then push the contents out carefully.Slice. However, this
year I'm being BOLD.

Cranberries with Apples and Brandy (serves 8)

2 @12 oz bags cranberries
2 med Granny Smith, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2"cubes
1/2 C. Orange Juice
2 C. Sugar
2 T Brandy.

Heat oven to 375^
In a 4 qt ovenproof dish, combine all and toss to mix.
Cover with lid or foil and bake until the fruit is soft, about 40 min.
Remove from the oven and stir. Serve hot, room temp. or chilled.


Additionally, I'm doing a simple Pumpkin Soup I got from this NG.
Steamed Broccoli with mayo will be the token green thing. Sweet
Potatoes, Stuffing (made seperately), pie, coffee - Mike

I don't know, but if you're planning to serve it on Thursday, just
refrigerate it, Mike. I just finished my cranberry sauce (pretty
plain, but done in the microwave). I'll cool it at room temp overnight
and chill it tomorrow.

Sounds like a fine meal to me, Sir. Mayo on the broccoli, huh? "That's
different." (And having seen the recipe for the cranberries, I'd still
just refrigerate it rather than freeze it.)

If it has a healthy amount of sugar, I don't think you need to freeze
it. Just refrigerate it. Keep it handy. Make extra, don't freeze it,
and have a little bit with many meals in the future.
