Fresh Cranberry Sauce, Easier than you think!

 

 Ever hated Cranberry Sauce?  I have... always.  Of course others feel differently about cranberry sauce so we have to have it at Thanksgiving.  There just had to be something better than the canned stuff.  Of course we all know that cranberry sauce hasn't always been in a can so let's learn how to make it ourselves.  By the way this sauce can be made days in advanced, getting just part of a whole day of cooking done a little early.

(P.S. the recipe is found on the back of the cranberry bag, I just cut the sugar by a few tablespoons.  Don't bother with a crockpot recipe, it's too easy for that.)

 

 First get your ingredients.

1 cup of water

1 cup of sugar

One 12 oz bag if cranberries

Med sauce pan

 

Mix the water and the sugar on med-high heat until the sugar dissolves.

Bring the water to a boil and then add the bag of cranberries.  

Cook on a low boil until the cranberries start to pop.  Not all cranberries will pop so there is no need to cook until they do.  This is were our own personal opinion comes in, you can cook until all of the liquid cooks off or leave a little of the water behind so you have a bit more of a juicy cranberry sauce.

 

Enjoy your fresh cranberry sauce!

Doctor Who Costumes and bags

If you didn't already know I am a Doctor Who fan.  I am not British and wasn't raised watching it and it is a little hard for me to watch the classic Doctor Who episodes but the new stuff is flipping awesome.  Knowing this you must be able to appreciate how excited I am about the 50th anniversary movie.  I have already seen it at a viewing party at a friend's house.  We went dressed up as the Tenth Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor.  I needed more after the viewing so, we are of course going to the theater on Monday 25th,2013 for a viewing in 3D.  I wasn't going to the theater in costume but I have to show my fandom so I made a duck tape purse and wallet combo.

Thanks for reading and hope to see you before Thanksgiving, Wednesday night.
Keep on crafting and DIY-in kiddos!
