CRANBERRY TIME!!

  Re: (...)
It is Cranberry time and Denise reminded me when she mentioned her 10 lbs. that she'll be working with - since I can't do much this year, except small batches of goodies, I thought you all might enjoy some ideas for the holidays coming up.

Lorraine, I haven't gotten many recipes from you lately........just sayin'

So, how about you all and your favorites? I also have my favorite cranberry bread that I like to use for canapés...somewhere here.

what do the two gingers do? I have never used fresh and dry ginger in the same dish, does it provide a differant flavor profile?

Lorraine
I've done it with both. I find the dried ginger more subtle. I really like the taste of the fresh, and actually add more than recipe calls for. This is a recipe you can really play around with. As are most chutneys.

BRISKET with CRANBERRY GRAVY

I used to do this one a lot while Personal cheffing and I still love the flavors!!


1 2 1/2 lb. Beef Brisket -- not corned
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 ounces Cranberry Sauce -- Whole Berry
15 ounces tomato sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion

Rub the brisket with salt and pepper and place in a 10" skillet.

In a bowl, mix the Cranberry and tomato sauces together; add the onion and combine.

Pour over the brisket, put over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

Stir, reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 ½ to 2 hours or until fork tender.

Remove to a platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes. To carve, slice against the grain and serve with the sauce on the side.

Description:
"Slices of the brisket are so tasty served with scalloped potatoes or mashed potatoes and drizzled with the cranberry/tomato 'gravy'."

I think most who like cranberries already have their favorite sauce, so I stayed away from them. I love cranberries!!

I'm making cranberry ketchup today to can and then my simple whole cranberry sauce.

Cranberry Ketchup
11 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
2 cups chopped onions
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups water
3 cups lightly packed brown sugar
1 cup vinegar
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

COMBINE cranberries, onions, garlic and water in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and boil gently for 6 to 10 minutes, until cranberries pop and become soft.

TRANSFER mixture to a blender or food processor fitted with a metal blade, working in batches, and purée until smooth.
RETURN mixture to saucepan. Add brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, cloves, salt, black pepper, allspice and cayenne. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring frequently, until mixture is almost the consistency of commercial ketchup, about 30 minutes.

This will make about 8 1/2 jars or 4 pint jars
