Cranberry Sauce with Apples
This cranberry sauce with apples is made with fresh cranberries and Granny Smith apples, which add an extra layer of tart flavor to a classic cranberry sauce recipe. The pectin in the apples helps the sauce to set and and a bit of cinnamon adds fall flavor. Make this apple cranberry sauce several days in advance to relieve some of the holiday stress, then pull it out to serve with turkey and all of your holiday sides. Leftovers can be spread on toast or sandwiches, mixed into yogurt, used in baking, or dolloped over ice cream.
Jack Daniel's Fudge
This Jack Daniel's fudge recipe makes a small batch of boozy fudge. You can satisfy your cravings without overindulging. I buy a 7-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk to make this fudge, and after making it, there is enough left to sweeten my coffee for a few days.
