The Christmas version, with the orange, without the star anise and cardamom is currently cooling in a couple of jars. Sweet at the start, there’s a cranberry finish to dry off the back of your teeth. Cold taste test tomorrow.

Absolutely, couldn’t agree more – we are never full of food holidays! :)

Diva: I think it would be a good move for international relations to allow reciprocal borrowing of said festivals :D

Chef E: sounds like I would have many welcomes if I were to travel Stateside for Thanksgiving – I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy now :)

usb: you’re welcome – enjoy!

zerrin: well, the US tradition would be to have it alongside turkey, but really, you could have it with any poultry, pork or ham, or, like I do, with a savoury cheese and nut loaf or, say, with baked goats cheese or camembert

This is a very intersting sauce for me. We don’t have cranberries in Turkey, but I still wonder how this appealing sauce is eaten, just spreading on meat or bread? Wish I could find cranberries here.

That’s an excellent recipe prepared for the Thanksgiving. I am surely going to give that cranberry sauce a try this Christmas. Hope that my family would also relish it. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I’m having a laugh and totally loving this post! Indeed, you should have permission to borrow Thanksgiving, especially in light of our co-opting St. Paddy’s Day!!

Your cranberry sauce is similar to my own. I always add the cardamom, cranberries and cardamom have such a natural affinity. Yum!

Jenni: O’Thanksgiving it is then, thanks for the Presidential seal of approval (by way of UPMAT) – I will wear it proudly! And, for the record, my words today are ‘retracts’ and ‘up’ – we could get together and make a national enquirer headline ‘immoral quasar retracts up’ :D

Natasha: thanks – I’ve just had some of that cranberry sauce with fresh goats cheese for lunch and it really is quite fine

sarah: why thank you (and yes, there are, unsurprisingly, rather a lot of cranberries afloat in the blogosphere these days!); likewise wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
