Sweet and Sour Cranberry Dipping SauceErin and Vanessas Quince and Cranberry SauceCranberry Quince SaucePersimmon Cranberry Sauce

At my mom’s in Las Vegas I came across two great recipes that sounded fantastic to prepare for the rest of the holiday festivities. I also found a good “re-purpose” recipe for cranberry sauce to make a meatball or egg roll dipping sauce. Yes, again Cranberries are the theme! I have some very impatient FB followers who would like these recipes so pictures will follow this weekend when I make them! Enjoy
