Food tip - leftover cranberry sauce (bourbon, freezer, tuna, cake)

[elnina]

Use your Thanksgiving leftover cranberry sauce for tasty cocktails.
Put in a pitcher, add some bourbon and amaretto, blend to smooth, fill with ginger ale, top with a lime slice.
Or make a cranberry margarita, or mojito, or martini...

You can also use cranberry sauce for non-alcoholic drinks
or you can eat it alone
or
- on toast instead of jelly
- in a cake mix
- add to frosting
- as a smoothy
- as a flavoring in oatmeal (other cooked cereal)
- whipping and placed on/in ice cream
- chunks in vanilla pudding
- with applesauce
- blended with orange juice
- blended with water and additional sugar and made into ice cubes for fruit drinks
- whipped and put into cranberry jello
- folded into whipped cream for a topping
- thinned with juice for a fruit salad dressing
etc......

Enjoy!!

Leftover cranberry sauce?

Hmmm. What a novel idea.

I've always used some on biscuits. Yummy!

At first I thought that sounded awful, but then i think about how good vodka and cranberry juice it, so bet this would be tasty...and we always have left over sause that gets thrown out eventually..

We separate into servings for one meal then and toss into freezer. Then just defrost as needed.

Unfortunately our college age daughter brought over enough sauce for Coxey's Army (havent heard that one in a while have you).

She bought the 3lbs bag of cranberries at Costco and cooked them all into a sauce.

It was fantastic and turned into a nice jam consistancy because of the natural pectin so it will do nicely in the freezer.
