Wednesdays Unplugged – Cranberry Tea

NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

I got a recipe for cranberry tea from a friend a long time ago and had a craving to try it this week but couldn't find it… so I settled on this one, will serve for Thanksgiving. The recipe called for a 12 ounce package of cranberries and I had a 16 ounce package… used all of them and added an extra orange, used 2 valencia oranges and 1 navel, used Meyer lemons.
