Sauces/Gravy Cranberry Sauce

418. cranberry sauce

(from The Practical Housekeeper: A Cyclopaedia of Domestic Economy, edited by Elizabeth Fries Ellet, 1857)

Ingredients:

1 quart cranberries​

water to cover​

1 lb. brown sugar​

Instructions:

This sauce is very simply made. A quart of cranberries is washed and stewed with sufficient water to cover them; when they burst mix with them a pound of brown sugar, and stir them well. Before you remove them from the fire, all the berries should have burst. When cold they will be jellied, and if thrown into a form while warm, will turn out whole.​

Last Friday, I posted the Cranberry Sauce recipe from "The Practical Housekeeper". Today I made it and I must say how delicious it is! Just for fun, I made it in the shape of a Crawfish!

HA!!....A shiny drumstick!

I confess I thought it was a glazed drumstick of some kind, too. I should try the recipe, it's simple and probably far better than canned.

@Albert Sailhorst, presuming you are having turkey for Thanksgiving, how will you prepare it?

I'm still wondering why it isn't "can" shaped.
