Coconut Lime is such a great site! I have nothing but respect for her. Oh god, that's too funny about your grandmother's sauce. NOTHING makes you feel as guilty as having to throw out something that a loved one put time, effort, or their limited mobility into! That recipe looks great. Coconut Lime is such a great site!

Hurrah! I made this: http://coconutlime.blogspot.com/2006/11/cranberry-ribbon-cake.html and even had the ultimate compliment - someone asked for the recipe! Haha! I also found some cranberry sauce (wild, nonetheless) from my gramma, dated 2007. Now, that? Is too old and I will toss it, but still - she picked those berries! On her hands and knees! With two artificial hips and professional knee pads! (Read: please don't tell her!)

Even if I do grumble sometimes when the last tray is going into the oven about 4 hours before I need to wake up. Tobias - thank you so much! I'm always a sucker for cheesecake :) Jenb - hehehe. I'm so glad that someone else is in the same boat! I'm not kidding, we have about 4-5 containers of cranberry sauce. Some in the freezer, some in our upright, some in the fridge.... I am totally siding with housemate #2. God help me, because I'm usually such a stickler on food safety, but I truly believe that cranberry sauce is immune to deterioration and disease. I once ate leftover cranberry sauce in July. And yes, Easter was in early April. It tasted exactly like it had 3 months previous and I never got ill......alarming, but true. I also once ate a piece of grocery store birthday cake (the kind made from flour, fat and chemicals) before realizing that it had been there....a looooong time. It was a bit dry, true, but otherwise okay. Huh. These are things I shouldn't admit so openly. Anyway, your cranberry ribbon cake sounds gorgeous!! What a great idea, and I fully support the usage!!

I love the itty bitty size - perfect for tasting but not feeling like you've swallowed a boat anchor.

Which has been in two closed containers at the back of the fridge. One of my housemates thinks it's expired and should be chucked, and another thinks it's perfectly fine - it's got sugar and orange juice in it, so it might as well be considered jam, and hasn't grown any mold. I'm siding with housemate number 2 but to be on the safe side, was going to use it up in a cranberry ribbon cake (plain ol' vanilla butter-based cake, baked in a bundt pan, with a ribbon of cranberry sauce through the middle.
