In Delightful Preparation ~ Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving ~ a recipe in gratitude...

 

Baskets brimming now sit before you 
Wash and sort and place in a deep pot
Cranberries of such brilliant red hue
Add orange juice, a bit of water, not a lot
Cook slowly and for that added touch
Maple syrup for sweetness, not too much
Cinnamon a sprinkle or two or three
Such sumptuous savor does surely please me
Thick and chunky a most delicious preparation 
Cranberry sauce, a yesterday, a now, in celebration.
