5 I count Rantburgers and Rantburg among my manifold blessings. :-)

Oregon Dave, I’m feeling better today, thank you.

Super Hose, I strive to do the classics reasonably well, given the standard set by my darling mother-in-law. My own parents came to the thing as adults, and never developed any traditions of their own for the thing. I like to make fresh cranberry relish from the back of the bag (12 oz fresh cranberries and a quartered orange run through the food processor until finely chopped, stir in about a 1/2 cup sugar to taste, then chill until served) in addition to the usual jellied from a can and whole berry cranberry sauces, because there are always strong feelings about the thing in our circle. My mother-in-law gave me her sauerkraut recipe (brown a chopped onion in a bit of butter, stir in a can of drained sauerkraut and a tablespoon of brown sugar, simmer 10 minutes to meld flavours) and tarted up canned sweet potatoes (to a 16 oz can of sweet potatoes in a frying pan over medium heat add a bit of butter, brown sugar, freshly grated nutmeg, cinnamon, and optionally unsweetened coconut. Simmer, turning pieces occasionally to coat until fluid is reduced by half). Not fancy, but quick and satisfies tradition. I admit to being proud of my gravy, though the tricks are just to strew the bottom of the roasting pan with rough chopped onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and some sage and rosemary, to give the turkey drippings extra flavour, brown the flour-and-butter roux, and deglaze the the roasting pan with champagne before straining it into the thickened base gravy — so extra flavour at each step.

What are your special traditions?

10 Perhaps our erstwhile spammer could use a warning or two…
