Although it isn’t quite Thanksgiving here in bloggerland, I just happened to have some jellied cranberry sauce hanging around. After making other delicious cranberry recipes of course.
And I don’t like leftovers sitting around too long, so getting the leftover cranberry sauce out the door the day after Thanksgiving suits me fine.
I am not one to repeat the turkey plate with sauce much, as I repurpose the turkey into other things. You can see a few of those recipes below. These also freeze well, so you can get these cooked up and out of your way.
I served these with maple syrup. You might like a cranberry syrup. You can make that one part cranberry juice cocktail and two parts granulated sugar, heated on the stove until the sugar dissolves well and creates a syrup.
I like these with maple sausages too. If you do vegan, you can get good breakfast links that are plant based. But you know I eat meat, even though I eat meat or plant based. The pancakes themselves are not vegan, but they are vegetarian. You could use plant milk but watch the cranberry sauce and sugars which have hidden ingredients that are not vegan. Always check the label if it matters to you, right?
