Thanksgiving is delicious




I did a cooking lesson for Thanksgiving and wanted to share some of my recipes as everyone loved them.

Cranberry Sauce

1-cup water
1-cup sugar
1-pound fresh cranberries

Bring water and sugar to boil in a saucepan. Add cranberries and bring back to boil. After about 10 minutes, when cranberries start to pop, take off flame and allow cooling to room temperature (this will take several hours). Cranberry sauce can then be refrigerated. Makes about 2 ¼ cups.

For variety, replace half of the water with orange juice and add a few tablespoons of orange zest

Cream Puffs/Profiteroles

1-cup water
½ cup margarine or butter
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4-teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups sifted flour
4 large eggs

Vanilla ice cream or tofutti

Bring water margarine, sugar and salt to boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Return to medium heat and stir (with wooden spoon) for about 40 seconds, until dough comes away from sides of saucepan and a film appears. Remove from heat. Add 2 eggs, beat with wooden spoon, then add 2 more eggs, beating until smooth. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
