Man, I'm hungry right now!!! I make homemade cranberry sauce each year. I take a bag of cranberries and stir in one cup of orange juice and one cup of sugar in a sauce pan with orange zest. Heat it all up and stir as the cranberries pop. I help them along after awhile. Then let it cool. Mouth watering at the thought of leftover turkey with cold cornbread dressing on top and cranberries spilling over! I have made a relish with cranberries before using the food processor, but my family prefers it in a jelly form! My daughters want it straight out of a can, in the shape of a can! Who raised those children? lol
I would love your recipe for yam balls! I also have a dressing using wild rice, chopped apples, raisins, sausage and other good stuff.

I have made this SO often, I love this! I also make it to give as gifts to friends.
I will make it again this year.
1 cup water
3/4 cup white sugar
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 cup apples - peeled, cored and diced
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
HOW TO:
In a saucepan combine the water and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Add the cranberries, apples, cider vinegar, raisins and spices. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 10 minutes stirring often.
Pour mixture into pots and let cool. Refrigerate after cooling.

I'm not sure this is anything new or not but I have a tendency to "add" stuff to the stuffing - corn, carrots, walnuts, etc. on top of standard stuff - onion, celery, etc. THEN, we have a Sage Bakery branch here in Lewiston that has really nice croutons. If they are out, which is often, I buy good wheat, rye, and potato white breads and make my own croutons. As my family doesn't like "spicy" stuffing, I watch what I put in. If I can get fresh, yes. If not, I just keep the McCormick herbs down, i.e., 1 tsp of McCormick if the recipe calls for a tbls.  I use organic chicken broth of course. And, keep the salt down. Instead of making gooey yams, I just bake them - no brown sugar or mashmallows. If I don't bake the yams, I'll mash them adding a bit of honey and pumpkin pie spice. Once in the bowl, I'll pour a bit more honey on them. Over the years, I scour magazines and websites for better recipes. I'm not just looking for organic. I'm looking for healthy which is more important to me. I also make pumpkin pudding rather than pumpkin pie. My daughter has called the pudding pumpkin guts since age 3 and my family likes the pudding over the pie. Mincemeat pie? No "pie" crust. I make a graham cracker crust instead. One reason for non-crust pies?? I make the most horrible pie crusts on earth. If I can get around them I will. Hope this gives you some ideas.
