Several flavors come to mind when I think of the holidays: oranges, apples, cinnamon, cranberries, and nutmeg.

Bourbon-Mint Cranberry Sauce
One of my favorite sides at Thanksgiving is the cranberry sauce. I look forward to it every year because every year we do something different. Sure, we’ve done the standard boiled cranberries with sugar, but we’ve also mixed the berries with shallots, and there have been several times my family has chosen to go completely… Continue reading Bourbon-Mint Cranberry Sauce
