Thanksgiving

blah blah blah banner blah blah blah whiny bitches blah blah blah
There, that's out of the way.
Thanksgiving was kept pretty simple this year, as we didn't go to California to be with the rest of our lunatic family, bless them. Mom did the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and a sweet stuffing; I made a savory stuffing and a cranberry cake made with sour cream. It's better than it sounds, believe me.
To top the cake, rather than a creamy frosting, I made a reduction of pomegranate schnapps and black raspberry liqueur with some lemon juice and a touch of added sugar. A cup and a half of booze reduced to a potent half-cup of syrup, and damn is it good. The cranberries were supposed to be fresh but, unable to find any, I rehydrated some with peach schnapps and water; the unabsorbed liquid was added to the syrup to thin it out just a touch.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Tomorrow or Saturday, I'm making turkey empanadas.
