Obligatory: of course. Fun to tinker: more fun than a barrel of..... What? Plastic blister wrapping? You get the same effect when cooking cranberry sauce. At a slow boil you hear the pop-pop-pop until there are no more.
A bag of 12 ounces makes a little more than 1/2 a quart of finished. This year I dispensed with white or brown sugar and went with miel corse (a Corsican honey) and some local honey to dilute the Corsican; lime zest, lime juice, orange juice and white wine instead of other liquids; a dash of salt; allspice, ground black pepper, and cinnamon sticks; and some dried cherries (at least 2 or 3 ounces). The cranberry seems to exude pectin so gelling is easy. I would have added maybe a full cup of liquid instead of 3/4 and 2-shot glasses.
It's very intense. It would surely be perfect in a turkey sandwich on Saturday. I'm curious to hear what the eaters say tomorrow.

Love the idea of adding dried cherries to the cranberries. And the image of bubble wrap is absolutely correct. So how was it on turkey leftovers?

ReplyDeleteWhy does the comment section have a handicapped image?
ReplyDeleteAlas, no left overs for us: not our turkey. We'll cook a turkey in January, make this relish, and give it a try with left overs.
