Not a fan myself, but it's really easy to make. Frozen cranberries, sugar, orange zest and a cinnamon stick. Simmer for hours.
Little Cognac livens my version up a bit and I use fresh cranberries... easiest is always best with me.
I'll borrower Chef's formatting as well
Thanksgiving- Spatchcock Turkey (think Good Eats from several years back) with the skin like cracklins (we need a drool character), homemade cranberry sauce (see above), homemade yeast rolls, roasted root vegetables and sprouts with honey mustard vinaigrette, mom's stuffing, wife's sweet potato pie
Christmas Eve: Crockpot Mulled Cider, my wife's double fudge cookies (these are the stars)... seared steak, roasted asparagus, homemade crusty bread, homemade steak sauce using the pan drippings
Christmas Dinner: Spiced Pork roast, roasted sprouts with sweet peppers, shallots, and dijon mustard vinaigrette, sweet cornbread, wife's pumpkin or apple pie
New Years Eve: Homemade tomato soup, grilled cheese (using the remaining crusty bread... if there is any
), Apricot and Fig Bread Pudding, and Thai iced tea (made with half n half)
New Years Day: Spring Rolls (not the fried type; I think its Vietnamese style) and garlic and sesame sticky noodles.... and a long run
Edit: forgot the holiday spiced kombucha that I brew that's consumed liberally throughout the holidays. My standard brew that gets a second bottle ferment with clove, cinnamon, and star anise. For some of my family, this is the only one they'll drink.
