The Good Ole Freap Chat ~ Sequel Part III ~

[Alesia]

Someone tell me these don't look/sound good although with the fall season upon us I am debating trying them with homemade cranberry sauce instead of the cherry http://smuckers.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=30

And yes, that is the one product I will make and not buy canned. I cannot stand canned cranberry sauce but homemade is unbelievable ~ I make it on Turkey day and Christmas day and serve warm.....mmmmmmm! I guess it will depend on if I can find fresh cranberries yet in the stores!

Those are like the Raspberry bar recipe that is on the box of Jiffy Raspberry Muffin Mix. They are incredibly good. They would be delicious with homemade cranberry sauce.

I make my own, too. How do you make it?

 

[It's A Happy Day]

I eyeball the amounts and adjust to taste....

1 bag of cranberries
1/2 c sugar (to start - I add more if too tart - I've also used splenda and it came out great!)
approx 1 cup - 1.5 cups water

I rinse the berries, put in a pan, add sugar and just enough water to see the water in the berries but not cover them (about 1 cup to a cup & a half), and then simmer. I do use a potatoe masher to squish them once they start popping to break them down but thats it. I have added in walnuts or almonds when in the mood as well.

That's about how I hake mine, but I use fresh orange juice instead of water. I also throw in a couple of cinnamon sticks if I have them.

Yummm...I love fresh cranberry sauce. I normally do a recipe that uses figs, walnuts and port but I do make the simple kind sometimes too. It's all good. I love fall and being able to make comfort foods and spend lots of time in the kitchen. I made corn chowder for dinner last night and it was so tasty.

I don't think I will make it back on the boards before we leave Sunday morning, so all you Freaps have a great week!

 

[It's A Happy Day]

Have a great trip!

Oh My Freakiness! This sleepover is probably the dumbest thing I have ever decided to do! These boys are nuts! They were having alot of fun, but every once and awhile they just get out of control....and WAY TOO LOUD! I tried to enlist my husband to come in a put down a little male pressure, but they didn't even respond to that! I finally had to raise my voice and tell them that if their mothers were here they would be embarrassed and really mad! And then I threatened to tell their mothers in the morning how badly they were behaving and they have settled down a bit....I threw my hubby at them with a game of Monopoly, wished him luck, and ran for it! I then went and arranged the bedroom with sleeping bags, pillows, and whatnots....so they better behave or I'm sending them to bed!

I have sympathy for you. My DS11 and friends are all downstairs in the basement light-saber fighting. He asked once at the beginning of party planning to have a sleepover. I said NO. I'm waiting for him to ask again. The answer will be the same because he was at a sleepover bday party with all these boys just last night. It's not like they'll never see each other again. I am a mean mom I guess, LOL!

My son had a Dungeons & Dragons game day at the house- went fine, 4 over plus my 2. Tried to hold another game day with other friends, most who had never been in my house before. BIG mistake. The game day lasted all of 45 minutes, when I proceeded to call their mothers and tell them I was on my way to bring their boys home. I couldn't even wait for them to be picked up!!
