Natto is fine. It's like the smell of funky cheese plus the consistency of beans+melted marshmellow.

here I am posting a year later, and using the same recipe. I am using a blush champagne this year...we shall see how that goes! How bad can anything with champange be?

I don't usually make any cranberry sauce, but this recipe sounds so good that I am going to try it this year.

I always make my cranberry sauce from scratch so this recipe is getting a try-out this year.

If anybody is wondering how this turns out; its perfect. Granted, I did not use the currants. Just not my thing to mess with perfectly good cranberry! Also I used a healthy 3/4 of champagne and skimpy 1 cup of sugar. I like my cranberry sauce to have a healthy cranberry kick, so you might want to keep the full cup. I had to cook mine for about 7-8 minutes, and cooled it on the stove top while preparing other things. Enjoy!

I always make the same fresh cranberry relish that my mother used to make in the 50s, so it's become a family tradition. Oddly enough, I've never run into anyone else who makes this, though there must be others out there who do. If you want fresh, it's the only way to go - nothing but grinding together fresh cranberries, oranges, and a little sugar. I freeze some in small containers to use throughout the year - great added to yogurt or on chicken sandwiches (freezes very well). The Cranberry Sauce with Champagne and Currants sounds intriguing if you like cooked cranberry sauce, though I would leave out the currants - wouldn't want anything to interfere with the cranberry taste. Sounds very yuppie-ish :-)

Yes definitely not as nostalgic. Probably not as disgusting also. I love cranberry juice, but have always had a tough time with cranberry sauce. Obviously this is why. Something from the can never tastes as good as something fresh. Can't wait to try this one, sounds so easy
