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.
