What's for dinner?

So did you just substitute the pineapple with the cranberries? It looks really good!

Yep, pretty much! I did make a few variations to the cake, though. I used sour cream instead of buttermilk and lemon extract instead of vanilla extract. I sort of just winged it with the glaze - made it like I was making jam except I didn't cook it as long and strained just the liquid out. I have no idea why I did it, but it ended up being the perfect little extra burst of flavor!

Now that I think about it, I might just post that cake recipe later. That's how much I love it.

Here I go again with the cranberries! Namely cranberry-pomegranate glazed ham, mashed taters, and Jersey sweet corn.

Cranberries on sale? Or are you just getting us in the mood for Thanksgiving?

[Cookie Pusher]

Haha Well, cranberries are pretty cheap since we produce a good chunk of the country's supply here! Another forum I'm on has a little cooking project kind of like Iron Chef and we have 3 weeks to come up with as many recipes using the theme ingredient as possible. Last month was apples, this month is cranberries. Considering I'm up against some real culinary heavy-hitters, I'm hoping to at least get a gold star for having the most entries! heh

We have cranberry bogs here in Oregon. They are pretty amazing.

My Mom made her homemade sauce and meatballs today so we had spaghetti and meatballs (and cheese ravioli) which is like the best thing on the planet.
