Random Quick Tip!

The Cranberry Sauce Slides Right Out
I do this myself whenever I open a can of cranberry sauce. Open the can as you normally would then turn it upside down and break the seal on the other end either with the sharpe end of a bottle opener or your can opener. (This releases the pressure in the can.) Then shake it just a little and the cranberry should just slide out. It works best when the can is at room tempurature. You can then put it in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until it is time to serve it. It is great time saver.
