Who else prepares scratch made cranberry sauce for

Who else prepares scratch made cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving?
.
Making this a few days in advance gives the flavors a chance to marry. I love the sound the cranberries make when they pop over the flame. (See my stories.)
.
My recipe contains cinnamon, honey, orange juice, orange peel, fresh cranberries, and hot pepper. I add a little brown sugar if the cranberries are a tarter than usual bunch.
.
What about you?
.
Do you like cranberry sauce?

Quinoa + Sweet Potato + Arugula . This is my dinne

Quinoa + Sweet Potato + Arugula
.
This is my dinner tonight.
.
I cooked the quinoa in chicken broth and cut the sweet potato into chunks and then baked them.
.
Meanwhile, I combined the juice of a lime with a tablespoon of fresh cilantro, a tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of maple syrup, and a tablespoon of currants.
.
After that was mixed we’ll, I added a handful of arugula and coated it.
.
Then, I plated it in layers: arugula then quinoa then sweet potatoes. I topped it off with salt and pepper.
.
It is really good. I will add more arugula next time.
.

About the Indie Business Network Quarterly Scholarship Program

The Indie Business Network offers a valuable and transformative entrepreneurial experience.

Applications are now open for my 1Q 2021 Scholarship. If you or someone you know know would like to apply, you May do so here https://www.indiebusinessnetwork.com/scholarship.
