This is both traditional and elegant. It does not hurt that it’s simple to make too.
Ingredients
- 12 ounce fresh cranberries
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 orange, zest only
- ⅓ cup cognac
Directions
1. Rinse and drain the cranberries, discarding any bruised ones. Mix all the ingredients together very well in a bowl.
2. Pour the mixture into a baking dish
3. Bake uncovered for 1 hour 20 mins, stirring often to assure that all the sugar has dissolved.
4. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
5. Refrigerate overnight or up to 5 days
We are also so excited that our plants are flowering however, we have not spotted a fruit yet. I must also mention that I am pleased that you are a fan of the ‘jenny’ variety. We are charming no matter the specie
Heirloom tomatoes might not be the prettiest of tomatoes but what they lack in looks, they make up in flavor 🙂
I normally plant Rutgers & Brandywine, this year I planted Black Krim, Black Prince and Cherokee Purple. They are about 4 feet tall now with loads of flowers and little tomatoes… I can’t wait till they are ripe! I also did something a little different this year, when I tilled my little space, I put decomposed chicken poo down & tilled it in.…wowoow the plants took off like gang busters hahah

… has been spotted on one of our plants, too. Woo-hoo! I’m curious about your ‘black’ Nyagous tomatoes — what are they like?
Mogli looks like he can get the job done. Any chance I can borrow him for a bit in exchange for a flatulent Boxer who’d rather lounge on the deck than keep the critters from nibbling through our garden?
… but he only travels first class, because he is the original “SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE” talk about winning the lottery this sweet dog did just that! He’s so lucky… we’re so lucky! GREG
We’ve got flowers here but no fruits yet.
I applaud your patience in waiting until you have the very best, most ripe, homegrown tomatoes to make the remainder of the winner recipes. The recipes deserve no less.
Your tomatoes look amazing! I’m growing Red + Yellowbrandywine, Purple Cherokee, Paul Robeson, Sungold, and Carmello. I am SHOCKED at how fruitful Carmello is — each vine has around 6 flowers on it, and all have turned into tomatoes!
But the real winner of your post is Mogli — he is GORGEOUS. What an interesting face!
Is Mogli actually bigger than the squirrels? 😉
We actually have a mystery variety growing since we lost the tag. All I know is it is a tall one, already at 5 feet or more, while the other 4 we have are bushy and 3–4 feet.
That’s so awesome. I’ve love to have my own tomato plant one day. A friend of mine is growing some tomatoes as well. I forgot what kind they are. I’ll have to ask him.
Cute dog you have too. What breed is he?
…is some sort of terrier mix of unknown age, and a new addition to our house. He came to us after 5 long, hard months in the city pound. He was literally on his last days when a friend of mine rescued him. Ken and I were only supposed to be fostering the little guy until a permanent home could be found. But he loves it here with us (and we love having him). Besides, I just could not put him through the process of adjusting to yet another new situtaion. Anyway, we needed a squirrel wrangler and he takes the job seriously. He is really blooming into a wonderful dog. GREG
