putting my notes here because I had trouble finding them from last year...
*Whole Cranberry Sauce with Orange
In a sauce pan, combined 6 cups of fresh cranberries with 2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice, 2 1/2 cup sugar, about 2 tbsp fresh grated ginger, and the zest from 2 oranges.
Bring to a boil while you stir. Adjust flame and continue stirring until berries "pop" and "sauce" thickens (back of the spoon is clear when you swipe your finger across). Made the day before and chilled
*CANDIED YAMS
2 40 oz (2#, 8 oz) cans yams
butter
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
Drained yams, discarded liquid. Arranged in baking dish. Pour orange juice over yams. Sprinkle liberally with brown sugar. Dot with butter pats. Sprinkle with marshmallows, if desired (I am not a fan of marshmallows in my yams, but some folks like 'em). Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees or in any oven temperature (i.e., right along with the turkey) until marshmallows melt and liquid is bubbly.
Cooked night before and reheated!
