Thanksgiving ingredients

[BaltRochGirl]

Glad you found them and they worked for you too!

Yup they are expensive, they were 25 pesos last year, thank you inflation! But since I cook them once or twice a year, I pay the high price, plus I bet if you actually found imported cranberries they would be even more expensive!

And it's worth it to impress your friends! although this year everyone wanted some alone time with my stuffing instead of the faux cranberry sauce...so I can share that recipe with you for next year

So I followed the instructions and found the little jars of Cassis at Carrefour. WOW they were expensive.

Canned weight: 400gr
Drained weight: 250gr

Price: AR$35.85/jar. WOW!!!

I didn't drain them, but rather poured the contents of both jars (yes, I spent AR$71.70 on fake cranberries not including the walnuts I put in at the end and the sugar either) into a Corningware dish, added some sugar and started cooking it on the stove. I ended up cooking it for about 30 minutes all told stirring it most of time after the halfway point. I also added the zest of two oranges and a lot more sugar. Then when I took it off the fire, I put chopped walnuts in and mixed them around. It appeared that it was getting too solid, so I added some water and stirred it in.

It was tart, sweet, yummy, and a huge hit with all the Americans as well as a Venezuelan girl whose body should be illegal.

Gracias, gracias, gracias
