I make this recipe each year for Thanksgiving and Christmas, its a wonderful recipe and so easy to make. If you are not a lover of Cranberry sauce from a can give this a try.
1 20oz. can pineapple chunks or tidbits
2 cups sugar
4 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup pecans or walnuts
Drain the juice from the canned pineapple into a saucepan and set the pineapple aside. Add sugar, cranberries, raisins, spices and salt to pineapple juice and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 25 minutes until thick, stir occasionally during the process. Remove from heat and add pineapple and nuts. This is wonderful served cold or warm, I sprinkle a few fresh pecans on top when I serve this dish. It will keep in the refrigerator for a long time.
I'm using a wreath I made click here that I posted last month from leftover holiday nuts. It looks beautiful in a clear glass stemmed bowl as the color is very festive.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
This is totally different than any recipe I have. We were just talking last Sunday about how we wanted to find some new cranberry recipes, and then... Voila! I pinned this to try. Thanks!
