Cranberry Sauce Anyone?

Homemade cranberry sauce:

1 cup water

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 whole cinnamon sticks

Bring to a boil and then add:

4 cups fresh cranberries (rinsed)

4 Cuties ( or 1 orange) peeled, remove seeds if applicable

Simmer together until berries begin to pop 5-10 minutes - you will hear the berries popping!

Remove cinnamon sticks and add:

1 can pineapple with its juice
Blend into a puree:

Pour into dishes and chill for 2 hours or more:

So, does anyone want my 2nd dish of cranberry sauce? (I made a whole batch and should have halved this recipe for the amount of people I am having over for Thanksgiving this year - my boys won't touch the stuff - hehe) If you live nearby, leave a comment and I'll draw someone's name =) Maybe I'll only get one comment, then it'd be yours easily!

It was a day of birds ;)  We saw a variety of them today, a few different species of wild birds, woodpeckers, blue jays and TWO hummingbirds!  I haven't seen that many birds in our yard since September.  Did they sense I was cooking their cousin for dinner?

This is our Thanksgiving feast, most of it was prepared from scratch:

If it's in yellow, then it was homemade: brined Turkey, gravy, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, salad, roasted cauliflower, caramelized onions, corn, bread, veggies, dip, salami, cheese, jello, pumpkin pie, ice cream & whipping cream.

Will share recipes, just ask and I'll send it to you!  Everything was yummy - it's all about starting with a great recipe =)
