I really procrastinated on this one, guys. I know that in Blogland it is pretty much sacrilege to post a Thanksgiving recipe the day before Thanksgiving, but in my defense I got lazy and, uh, forgot.

SO here we are, one day before the big meal, and I’m hoping that you are as lazy forgetful as I am and are in need of a good cranberry sauce recipe.

This is my second year being in charge of the cranberry sauce (after screwing up the turkey two years in a row I “gracefully” passed that duty on to other family members) and the second year that I’ve made this blueberry-cranberry version.

I like to make lots of cranberry sauce and freeze the leftovers it in mason jars (I buy these ones) to use throughout the year. I know that cranberry sauce seems like a holiday recipe, but with a little creativity you can find all sorts of extra uses for it.

Sometimes I like to make roast pork tenderloin and smother it in a rich cranberry sauce. You can also use this sauce to top your waffles or a big bowl of ice cream.

Pureeing the sauce and using it to make a cocktail
Stirring the sauce into my pancake batter
Adding some to a batch of Sangria
Spreading it on toast for breakfast
Baking it into overnight French toast
I have no idea why all of these options are either breakfast or booze, but that’s just how my mind works I suppose.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
A Dutch oven (3-quart or larger)
Freezer safe mason jars
A funnel and a ladle
Measuring spoons and measuring cups (both dry and liquid)

Instructions

Heat the sugar and water in a 3-quart or larger Dutch oven (or other heavy-bottomed pot) over medium-high heat until boiling.
Add the cranberries, frozen blueberries, cinnamon, and lemon peel (or zest). Allow the mixture to return to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 15-30 minutes, until cranberries are burst and softened.
Divide into pint-sized mason jars for storage, leaving a half inch of air space in the top of each jar. Allow to cool on the counter top before refrigerating or freezing.
