Pecans obtained...

...and an alien thing, too. The latter was not planned. I'll post a picture after it's made its debut at tomorrow's feast.

Even Neil Gaiman knows that you don't need pecans for cranberry sauce, that there's value in keeping things simple. Fitzgeralds...at least those of my generation...just didn't get the simple gene. I'm trying to remember if I've seen any evidence of its existence anywhere in the family line.

For the record, all of the cranberry sauce I've made previously has been fine and delicious...without pecans. Or tangerine peel. Or cinnamon, for that matter.

What *is* in your sauce???

I'm trying one with rum, candied ginger and cranberries.

Plus we have plain for those who prefer that sort of thing.

Oh, my. Yours sounds splendid. I normally don't care for candied ginger, but I'll bet it's fabulous with cranberries and rum.

Mine will have cranberries, sugar, orange pineapple juice, tangerine peel, pecans, and perhaps some cinnamon. It could easily have the secret alien ingredient, too, but then the alien wouldn't be pristine, so I think it will be cranberry sauce sans alien.
