Vicious Cycle - 280/365  (Sadly, that's not my wine)

Mr. Wild Dingo and I visited relatives in L.A. over Thanksgiving. I brought the cranberry sauce. It got rave reviews and I passed the recipe around (the secret is a lot of ginger). Still, we came home with a bucket of left-over cranberry sauce. So I made another turkey. Well, not entirely. I bought a bone-in turkey breast and cooked it in the slow cooker. I added some 'taters, and some greens: Boom! It's Thanksgiving all over again. Just so we could "use up" the cranberry sauce. Only now we have left-over turkey. I'm thinking I could make some more cranberry sauce to go with that left over turkey.

It's a vicious cycle, Internet.

Here's the recipe for that fantastic cranberry-pear sauce:

• 4 12 oz bags fresh or frozen cranberries
• 2.5 pounds pears (5-6) peeled cored, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup minced or grated fresh ginger
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 cups sugar
