I went back to Costco the day after Thanksgiving, hoping to buy another
package of those really nice cranberries and they either were out of them
and hadn't restocked or were done having them in stock period. I wanted to
make some more sauce and can it again so that I could give some away at
Christmas.

I haven't tried making the kind that's just jellied sauce without the whole
berries. Too impatient to wait for the liquid to strain.

I've got a turkey thawing as I type, waiting to pop into the oven tomorrow
morning to let cook while we're at church. We'll have a nice Sunday dinner
and the carcass will get stripped and go into the stockpot and the meat will
go in the fridge to await canning.
