What should we do with our leftover Cranberry Sauce from Thanksgiving dinner? You know, the stuff that we always make way too much of?  Is it still sitting in a bowl in your refrigerator?Â
Let us know how you re-purpose your Cranberry Sauce… and we have a couple other ideas for you in addition to the uses that everyone thinks about, which are using it as a sandwich spread or on toast.
idea #1 – Heat, strain and create a craft cocktail syrup out of it. (see recipe below)
Idea #2 – Turn those tangy cranberry sauce leftovers into a Cranberry Pie.
Idea #3 – Make Cranberry Muffins or Bread.
Idea #4 – Add the sauce to Grilled Cheese Sandwiches or Chicken Quesadillas.

Heat your chunky cranberry sauce leftovers along with a bit of water, then fine-strain it. Use your new ‘cranberry cocktail syrup’ in this colorful drink:
Cranberry Sauce Cocktail
- 1 1/2 ounces cranberry sauce coctail syrup
- 1 1/2 ounces gin
- 1/2 ounce cranberry liqueur
Combine all the ingredients in a shaker, add ice and shake vigorously, then strain into an ice-filled rocks glass to serve. Garnish with a candied cranberry rosemary or mint skewer, if desired.
