"There are so many reasons to love Thanksgiving: dancing red and orange autumn leaves, spending time with friends and family, the incredible smells wafting from the kitchen. And hopefully, at the very least, a day off from work. For many, the best part of Thanksgiving is the food. And the fun doesn't end there, because after Thanksgiving, you get to enjoy leftovers."
"Typically, "cranberry sauce" can mean a variety of things. There are endless additions you can add to cranberry sauce, making it sweet, savory, chunky, smooth, or even spicy. Because there is so much variance in the cranberry sauce world, it's important to recognize which style can be used, and in what capacity, for your post-Thanksgiving leftover creations. Avoid using savory cranberry sauces in ultra-sweet desserts and chunky sauces in beverages. Go with your gut, flex your culinary creativity, and let no drop of that tangy cranberry sauce go to waste."
Cranberry sauce varies widely in texture and flavor, ranging from sweet to savory and from smooth to chunky. Different styles suit different uses, so matching the sauce type to the intended dish is important. Savory sauces don't work well in ultra-sweet desserts, and chunky sauces are unsuitable for beverages. Cranberry sauce functions like a chutney, cleansing the palate after rich, fatty Thanksgiving dishes and pairing well with heavy foods, such as curry. Freezing cranberry sauce in muffin tins enables long-term storage and portioned use. Creative repurposing prevents waste and extends the seasonal flavors beyond the holiday meal.
