Cranberries Jezebel

Flyin’ Brian and his wife, Stephanie, came up to Camp Geezer for Thanksgiving. Steph is a good cook and brought most of the food for the meal. Brian deep-fried the turkey, out in the front yard, and all we had to do was make the Cranberry Sauce.

I asked Cathy if she had a good recipe. She did. Cranberries Jezebel.

We decided to make regular cranberry sauce also, to give people a choice.

As I was cooking the CJ, various people would say things like “Horseradish! … Mustard! In Cranberry Sauce?”.

I submit for your evaluation, two bowls of cranberry sauce, on my non-Granite countertop, 3 days after Thanksgiving.

Notice the difference between Cathy’s Cranberries Jezebel on the left (which I made) and Mrs. Geezer’s homemade cranberry recipe on the right (which was very good in its own sweet way). Most everybody ate the CJ and left the regular stuff.

It was great. Oh BTW, Mrs. Geezer asked me if I could add the magic ingredients to *her* sauce to fix it up.

If it’s OK with Cathy, I’ll post the recipe here.
