Featured Recipe - "Killer" Cranberry Sauce

OK, we think of cranberry sauce with Thanksgiving, but it has other uses. Besides, it's not too early to start thinking of Thanksgiving, anyway.

This recipe can be used on everything from sandwiches to entrees. Try a bit with your favorite meat dish and of course with your formal Thanksgiving meal. Not only are cranberries high in vitamin C to help to strengthen our immune systems, they also taste good.

Why not make the recipe and freeze some of it for your November feast (if you are staying home instead of coming here to Seaside for this holiday), or put some in decorative containers to give as gifts.

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 C sugar
• 1 navel orange
• 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 4 cups of whole freshly washed cranberries
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) toasted pecans

Directions:

• Grate the orange peel and add to a pot with the sugar and ginger.
• Add the juice from the orange into the pot and simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
• Add cranberries and cook until their skin pops - about 5 minutes.
• Add pecans and cool the sauce.
