So….right about now, the hurry and scurry of Thanksgiving is over and you’re trying to arrange the leftovers in your refrigerator and make room for more stuff. You find a cranberry bag in your vegetable crisper containing a handful of cranberries and you utter, “What on Earth am I supposed to do with this little pittlin’ handful of cranberries I have left over?”
Make oatmeal.
And thrown them in the water as it boils, along with brown sugar, to make a light cranberry syrup.
It will make you feel good about yourself and give you a break from all the pies, cakes, casseroles and breads we sampled to make sure they were right for Thanksgiving before we even got to Thanksgiving Dinner.
The sacrifices we make!
Y’all come see us!
