Enjoy a Tart Accompaniment to Holiday Meals Fresh Cranberry Sauce Cranberry sauce is a common accompaniment to turkey and other foods during the holiday season. It adds a refreshingly tart, yet sweet flavor to foods, and there’s no shortage of ways to utilize cranberry sauce. Individuals may be quick to grab a can of prepared cranberry sauce for their meals, but it’s easy to whip up a batch of this beloved side with very little effort. The result is a cranberry sauce that is fresh and flavorful and does not feature the gelatinous consistency of some canned varieties. You’ll Need 1 1 1
cup sugar cup water 12-oz package fresh or frozen cranberries
Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil; add cranberries, return to boil. Reduce heat and boil gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate until serving time.
NOTE:
If you like a more tart cranberry sauce, reduce the amount of sugar to taste. For a citrus twist, add the rind of half an orange when you add the cranberries. Then remove rind before serving. This will add a subtle citrus flavor to the sauce

Essential Gear for First Time Thanksgiving Hosts Hosting Thanksgiving is a large undertaking that can put some hosts under pressure. Unlike some other holidays that are less food-focused, Thanksgiving is largely about the meal. Leaving hungry is never an option on Thanksgiving. Individuals who are new to Thanksgiving hosting may be at a loss as to where to start with their preparation. There are certain must-haves hosts should familiarize themselves with. Many of these essentials revolve around tools for cooking in the kitchen and serving guests. • Large roasting pan: You’ll need somewhere to oven-roast the turkey. While it’s perfectly acceptable to purchase a disposable aluminum pan for this purpose, if you plan to host Thanksgiving year after year, investing in a quality roasting pan will help deliver even cooking temperatures to the food and also can be used for roasting other meats. • Wire rack: The turkey is placed upon a rack inside of the roasting pan so that it will not swim in the juices and cause a soggy bottom during cooking. Many roasting pans and racks are sold as sets, but others can be purchased separately. The rack can be used for other purposes as well, including cooling baked cookies or even drying out fresh herbs. • Food thermometer: Ensuring the turkey and other foods are cooked

to the correct internal temperature is essential. You do not want to send guests home with foodborne illnesses. Food thermometers run the gamut from very basic to those that can be programmed to alert cooks through an app on a smartphone. Turkey is done when the temperature reads 170 F in the breast and 180 F in the thigh. If stuffed, the stuffing should register 165 F, according to Butterball. • Service for eight or more: Thanksgiving draws a crowd, so take inventory of silverware, dishes, wine glasses, and any other table needs to ensure that you can accommodate all of the guests. Purchase new items if you cannot set the table completely with what you have, as mixed and matched may be okay for informal events but may not set the tone hosts are aiming for on Thanksgiving. • Ample Seating: Determine if you have enough table space to seat all of your guests. Some dining tables

come with an extension leaf, but you still may need to supplement with a folding table. You may need more seating. Chairs can be rented or you can utilize some folding chairs. • Coordinated casserole dishes: Casserole dishes can hold all of the sides served with the turkey, including stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, and more. A set of matching dishes will help the tablescape look more coordinated. • Turkey serving platter: When the turkey is ready, it can be placed on an attractive serving platter for your photos, after which you slice and then return the sliced poultry to the serving platter for dining. Thanksgiving requires a number of essentials that hosts will need to have on hand to make the holiday complete.
