Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
You have to have it at the Thanksgiving table but what do you do with it afterwards? In my house there always seems to be leftover cranberry sauce especially since most of the time we have both the whole berry homemade and the canned jelly stuff. So here are eight ways to enjoy your leftover cranberries. And feel free to let me know what you do with your leftover cranberries.1. Cranberry mustard or mayonnaise--You may not want to toss all the cranberry sauce into your bottle of mustard or mayonnaise but mixing in a little cranberry is a great way to pep up chicken, ham, and yes, turkey sandwiches. It can also be mashed into butter or cream cheese as a breakfast spread.
2. Throw it into a muffin or quick bread recipe. Not so good for the jelly stuff but you can use the whole berry sauce as an addition to blueberry or corn muffins.
3. You can adapt a recipe like this one for cranberry cheesecake to use your old cranberry sauce, just whirl it up in a blender and swirl through the cheesecake.
4. Heat it up, add a little Cointreau or brandy and spoon it over vanilla ice cream.
5. If you've already started your Christmas baking, you can use your cranberry sauce as a center for thumbprint cookies.
6. Cranberries and chocolate. Cranberries and white chocolate seem to be natural partners, the tartness of the cranberries cuts the sweetness of white chocolate very nicely. Cranberries also make a good addition to fudge.
7. Cranberry chutney, relish, or as Sarah mentioned salsa can give new life to an old sauce.
8. Cranberry vodka. Does your sauce have that run-off of thinner juice? Mix it with a shot of vodka and add in seltzer water. It makes a very pretty pink cocktail.

I've decided after searching for something on the Internet to do with my homemade whole-berry cranberries to make Cobbler. 1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal, 1/2 c flour, 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar (may cut this down since there is already 1 cup of sugar in the berries), 1/2 butter, and 1 (1 lb) can of whole-berry cranberry sauce (but I'm substituting my homemade sauce here). Mix oatmeal, flour and br sugar, cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Press 1/2 of mixture into an 8x8 baking pan. Pour cranberry sace over the crust adn top w/remaining crumb mixture. Take at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
