T-day Preps Have Started

I have started food preping for the big feast on Thursday. Some of my family will be driving (10 hours! overnight!! from KY) to join in the celebration. We will having the usual: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pretzel jello salad (don't pretend that you don't know what that is or just how delicious it sounds regardless of the unappealing name), and of course, the cranberry sauce.

I make a tangerine-cranberry compote that is cuts the tartness of the berry with the sweetness of the tangerines. It is delicious and the best way to eat cranberries.

A bag of cranberries, 2 cups of tangerine juice (freshly squeezed), tangerine zest, and a bit of sugar, simmered together to make a syrup, and then cooled to room temp. Don't tell Will that there might be a bit of ground ginger in there.... or cinnamon too... ;)
