Fresh cranberry compote..

salad, sauce, jelly or stew..it failed.... but it still tastes very good!   I could not find the  one recipe I wanted in my 410,752! recipes that are in cookbooks, on pieces of paper or stashed somewhere.  So I remembered bits and pieces but it is not right.  Looked online and came up with a halfway plan.  It didn't work exactly right.

 
However, we will eat it anyway..tastes better than the canned cranberry and we love that!

Much to be thankful for in our family except for concern about the fires in North Carolina and South Carolina  which are not near any of my family or friends.   It has been determined that some of the various fires have been intentionally set..a poor excuse for a human being is at fault.  One fire is only about 20 miles from where my son lives in North Carolina..this fire started Monday and has already burned thousands of acres of beautiful mountains. Some of their friends may be threatened.    The ash and smoke are tremendous and causing major breathing problems for those with lung issues.  We will be driving up to spend the day with them tomorrow.   Praying for rain, doing rain dances and keeping our fingers crossed.  Prayers for the thousands of fire fighters safety..they have been working weeks now to get these fires out.   Keep the well wishes coming for all involved.

Happy Thanksgiving..posting tomorrow's blip may be late!  Family photo maybe..haha..like that is going to happen!
