Cranberry Sauce

Sure, leftover cranberry sauce is a tasty (if predictable) spread for turkey sandwiches. But try it in these unexpected applications.

Our Secret Twists

  • Muffins: Stir 1⁄4 cup cranberry sauce and 1⁄4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers into prepared batter from an 8.5-ounce package corn muffin mix; bake as directed.
  • Salsa: Combine 1⁄2 cup cranberry sauce, 1⁄4 cup chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon each chopped jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice.
  • Salad dressing: Combine 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; toss with arugula.
