Homemade cranberry sauce with apple
You can imagine Thanksgiving dinner in a house with seven
children.
What you probably can’t imagine is what it must have taken my mom to get dinner on the table for a family of nine, plus grandparents and other visitors. There was a 25 pound turkey, mountains of potatoes and squash, jars and jars of mom’s homemade pickles brought up from the cold room. There were apple and pumpkin pies covering every available flat surface and homemade cranberry sauce made with local rock cranberries. I’m sure our table, and all of us around it, looked like a Norman Rockwell painting.
