280491 Tue Oct 25 21:41:04 -0700 2005 5 31 Home Cooking 0 1490314 My FIL makes this amazing cranberry sauce with walnuts and oranges and allspice -- pretty sure that's all the ingredients (probably sugar, too). He's made it for Thanksgiving for the past few years and I always ask him for the recipe and he insists on telling me over the phone and I write it down and promptly lose it (that's what email is for). This year we've moved across the country and FIL isn't joining us for Thanksgiving but I want that sauce! But I don't want to go back to him AGAIN and ask him for the recipe (especially since the whole move is a bit of a sore point). So, does anyone have a recipe for cranberry sauce that includes oranges, walnuts and allspice? My FIL is a decent cook but he's no chef, so he had to have found it somewhere!

One bag of cranberries (16 oz.?). Wash 'em. 2 cups sugar. 2 small cans mandarin oranges. . 1/4 cup of juice from mandarin oranges. 1 cup nuts. walnuts or pecans 1 tsp allspice combine ingredients and cook on high in crock pot for 2-3 hours. Wed Oct 26 13:59:29 -0700 2005 1490331 0 Amuse Bouche 1 1490368 Here's the one I make. I've never used allspice, but there's no reason you couldn't add it. It is a little more chutney-like. 1 package fresh cranberries 1/2 onion, chopped 1/2 cup port, brandy or bourbon 1 orange 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup chopped walnuts Combine chopped onions and port, brandy or bourbon in saucepan. Cook until onions are softened and liquid is mostly evaporated. Remove zest from orange and chop finely. Juice the orange and add enough water to the juice to make 1 cup. Mix orange juice/water, orange zest, cranberries and sugar with onions in saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook just until the berries have popped. Remove from heat and add chopped walnuts. Cool before serving. Wed Oct 26 09:08:56 -0700 2005 1490314 0 Sarah C 1 5190846 PLEASE call your FIL and get the exact recipe...we are looking for it, too! Thanks!
