After writing yesterday about how a particular cranberry sauce reminded me of a cosmo, I realized that the same thought must have occurred to someone else....
Happy Thanksgiving,

From Epicurious:
Cosmopolitan Cranberry Sauce
This vibrant condiment takes its inspiration from the popular cocktail the Cosmopolitan. The alcohol heightens the sauce’s flavor, but for kids and nondrinkers, the recipe can easily be made nonalcoholic by substituting orange juice for the water and deleting the vodka and liqueur.
1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vodka
3 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Triple Sec [or Cointreau]
In a heavy saucepan over moderate heat, combine cranberries, sugar, and ½ cup water. Bring to boil, stirring often to dissolve sugar, then reduce heat to moderately low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened and reduced to about 3 cups, about 15 minutes.
Transfer to medium bowl and cool, stirring often, until tepid, about 30 minutes. Stir in vodka and liqueur. Transfer to serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 2 hours. (Sauce can be made up to 2 weeks ahead and refrigerated.) Serve chilled or at room temperature.

I love your blog. The only thing that would make it better is the option of getting it by e-mail. I don't want to miss your next flurry of posts! What say, ladies?
HI Michele,
Actually, Barbara does email the blog to her friends and fans, in addition to posting it on Facebook; I, for whatever reason, wait for them to stumble upon it, so you've been penalized by being my friend instead of hers. I'll send your email address to Barbara so you'll get new posts (along with Barbara's clever subject lines and intro copy) as they are published.
If there are other readers who would like to subscribe, let me or Barbara know.
Thanks for reading.
