Sponsored: What to do with a can of cranberry sauce

Like many of you I bought some extra cans of whole berry cranberry sauce at my Ingles Market. So then I started thinking—what can I do with it besides making cranberry sauce?

Here are some ideas:

Dessert: Mix cranberry sauce with sliced apples and make a cranberry cobbler, crisp or pie
Salad Dressing: Put cranberry sauce in a sauce pan and reduce it until it has thickened. Let cool and mix with apple cider vinegar, canola oil and salt and pepper to make a salad dressing.
Stuffing: Use cranberry sauce and apples as a stuffing for pork chops or pork tenderloin or chicken breast. (see our Ingles Table Magazine or the recipe on our website: https://www.ingles-markets.com/recipes/stuffed-pork-chops as a starting point)
Spread: Mix reduced cranberry sauce with peanut butter or cream cheese as a sandwich spread or dip.
Topping: Top brie cheese with whole berry cranberry sauce for a festive addition to a cheese board.
Smoothie: Mix up a smoothie with whole berry cranberry sauce, vanilla soy milk and protein powder for a tangy and colorful breakfast smoothie

Do you have more ideas? Let me know!

Hurricane Helene was and continues to be a traumatic event for our region, but even within the worst of it, there are stories of resilience and ingenuity in ways that many had to deal with making or getting meals while having no power or water for days.

There are many churches and community relief and service organizations that are and will continue to help in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Please make sure you check on what local area churches may be doing or need in terms of donations. Money is often the best thing to donate so they can buy what they need. Volunteer time is also often appreciated.

It is difficult to know what to write after a disaster of the magnitude caused by Hurricane Helene. It certainly teaches us the importance of coming together as a community to check on and help our friends and neighbors, and how vital our emergency response teams, first responders, National Guard, churches, shelters for both humans and animals, and relief organizations are in times like this.
