Final #Thanksgiving level unlocked: a new-to-me use for leftover homemade cranberry sauce.
Most of the time I come home with a ton of it left, because until this Thanksgiving I was the only person in my family who preferred it (both my sister and my niece surprisingly ate some this year, though).
It then usually goes into the freezer, because I don't know what else to do with it. One can only eat so much of it in attempting to diminish the Thanksgiving leftovers.
I decided to make waffles today (because day off), and I thought to myself as I was making them, gosh, I don't know if I have any fruit to put on them.
I figured there might be some very desiccated blueberries somewhere in the freezer out of which I could make a quick sauce.
BUT THEN! 💡The proverbial fridge light blinked on over my head and I realized I still had half a pint of homemade cranberry sauce from last week.
Et voilà!
I really loved the combination of flavors with a little bit of maple syrup, the tart and cinnamon-y cranberry-orange sauce, and of course, high-quality butter.
I'm not a huge sweets fan in the morning, so the cranberry sauce really made the meal palatable -- and perhaps almost healthy!
