Historically Significant Cranberry Sauce


     The cranberry sauce is a very important part of my family's Thanksgiving meal. The recipe I am about to impart has been a part of our holiday table for as long I can remember. We're talking over forty years of history. It was passed on to my parents by their parents. My parents have passed it on to me. I don't think they gave it to my sister. She doesn't really cook much. I'm pretty sure she still uses her oven for extra shoe storage. Anyway, here it is.

Historically Significant Cranberry Sauce

"It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is inedible 
without it."
-Alistair Cooke

Ingredients:
  • 1 14oz. can jellied cranberry sauce
Directions
  1. Open can
  2. Shake can until contents slide out onto a plate with a satisfying "plop"
  3. Lay cylinder of jellied cranberry sauce on side
  4. Slice cylinder into 1/2" slices

Good Times!

  1. I have to buy a can for each of my kids and they do not share. It's hilarious! Thanks for a little chuckle this morning.
