| Cooking down the cranberries for use in the Cranberry Apple Pie |
It's the day before Thanksgiving in America and many people are in the kitchen doing some of the prep work and/or baking to prepare for a day of blessings and thankfulness tomorrow; shared with their friends and family.
This year is a very strange, odd and rather sad year for me in that it's just the three of us. Our recent move to Alabama places us 1000 miles from not only extended family, but two of our own kids as well! Even though we are paring the size of the turkey down to accommodate fewer eaters, the traditional foods and fare will be on our menu. This year I'm mixing it up a little by changing the apple pie to 'cranberry apple' with a layer of delicious and brightly colored cranberries on the bottom and therefore incorporating this traditional side dish into a fabulous dessert.
