directions
-
Cranberry sauce:
- Saute garlic and onion in oil for 2-3 minutes or until onion is soft.
- Add cranberries, juice, sugar, and ginger. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer uncovered 16-17 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until just thickening.
- Remove from heat and add apple cubes. Allow to sit a bit before serving so apples will not be too crunchy.
-
Potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 325.
- Scrub potatoes and pierce or prick in several places.
- Bake until soft, about an hour.
- Cut each potato in half so that any flattened sides will remain for stabilizing.
- Scoop out the insides of the potatoes, leaving 1/4" inside each shell.
- Mash potatoes and mix in everything else, reserving some nuts to sprinkle on top.
- Bake at 300 or 325 for 25-30 minutes or until warmed through.
