The onions are sautéed in olive oil until softened. The cranberries, sugar and vinegar are added and cooked on a low simmer. As they softened, I used a potato masher to gently crush them. I simmered for an additional 7-10 minutes until jammy in texture. When done, I seasoned with salt and pepper and cooled. What a delicious twist on cranberry sauce. It had a subtle tang from the cranberries that was tempered from the addition of the brown sugar and vinegar. My husband and I made turkey sandwiches with it this week and enjoyed the contrast against the roasted turkey. As I made a small batch of the cranberry agrodolce recipe, I used the balance of the cranberries to make Pumpkin Cranberry Bread. This recipe is from “Gourmet Magazine,” November 1996. For the recipe you’ll need solid-packed pumpkin, sugar, water, eggs, vegetable oil, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves and fresh or frozen cranberries. The batter is prepared in a large bowl mixing the pumpkin, sugar, water, eggs and oil. The dry ingredients go in next. The cranberries are stirred in by hand before going into a prepared loaf pan. As I was only preparing half a recipe, I decided to make muffins. If making bread, the cook time is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, the muffins bake approximately 20-30 minutes with the oven set at 350°. The muffins turned out wonderful. Not sweet, a hint of tartness from the cranberries, delicious. This would make a perfect snack with morning coffee or tea or even great served alongside the Thanksgiving turkey. For easy to prepare stove top appetizer, try Hot Dogs & Bourbon. Did you offer to make a salad, Apple, Dried Cherry and Walnut Salad with Maple Dressing hits the seasonal flavors. For an easier than pie recipe, an Apple Galette is the answer. For other Thanksgiving desserts may I suggest autumn loaf, financiers, pumpkin biscotti and chocolate brownie pudding.
