Thanksgiving Prep Day 3

It's prep day 3, and things are getting a little busier, but feeling good so far. The cranberry-ginger relish is complete, and ready to move to the refrigerator till Thursday.  I had struggled with the cranberry side of Thanksgiving until I found this recipe a few years ago, and it has been in my arsenal ever since.  I love that it's a natural way to use cranberries, not just a red dish on the table that you assume is cranberry sauce.

Ingredients:
1 12oz bag of fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp of grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp of red-wine vinegar

Directions:

In a sauce pan, bring cranberries, sugar, ginger, and water to boil. Once that happens reduce heat to a medium-low, and simmer until the cranberries start to pop, which will take about 10 min.



Stir in vinegar and remove from heat.

This is what the cranberry relish looks like after most of the cranberries have popped.


Let the mixture cool to room temperature before serving.






Sourdough bread is finally finished, and smells delicious.  Kinda wish I was eating it, and not just making it for the stuffing, but I do have some leftover starter, so I will make another loaf to just eat. But not this week! :)

Last, but certainly not least for today, I got the tablecloth and napkins ironed and on the table.

Plan on setting it tomorrow afternoon.






One more prep day to go!
