This is a favorite little product of mine.  We eat Curry about once a week.  It is delicious.   I usually make some sort of vegetarian curry, because I like it.  But you can also make meat curries.

When time is short, or I just want to make a meal quicker.  I use this little product to make a quick and delicious curry.

Golden Curry

A couple of my kids consider it plate licking good.

With Thanksgiving just days away, I thought I would share one of my favorite thanksgiving recipes.  This is a yummy, delicious cranberry sauce and super easy to make.

1 cup white sugar
1 cup orange juice
1  12 ounce package fresh cranberries

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries, and cook until they start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat, and transfer to a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.

The reviews at dinner last night were good, but a little tart.  I guess I liked it a little tart.

This is a family favorite, and one we modified from a Rachael Ray recipe.
