Cranberries & Tangerines with sugar free gelatin (vegetarian & diabetic friendly)
but don’t be wasteful.
Cranberries & Tangerines with sugar free gelatin (vegetarian & diabetic friendly)
2 tangerines (peeled with pith removed) with segments cut in
halves
1/2 package of cranberries (about 6 ounces), coarsely chopped
1 package of sugar free raspberry jello
Add 1 cup of boiling water to jello and stir till
dissolved. Stir in 1 cup of cold water
(if you aren’t concerned about diabetic friendly, this step can substitute 1
cup of apple juice or hibiscus tea instead optionally). Add combined cranberries & tangerines (finely
chopped zest peel optional). Pour into a jello mold or bowl, cover and put in
the fridge about 3 hours till set.
Turkey Stock (Broth)
1 gallon of water
1/8 cup of soy sauce
1 stripped turkey carcass (bones, skin, giblets, livers, all
the rarely eaten bits of the animal that gave up its life to give you protein
and a tryptophan induced nap. I like to
make use of as much of the creature as possible both out of respect and because
it’s delicious)
After carving your turkey and removing most of the meat for
separate serving you can make use of the bones & other odd bits by making
stock. Add all the above ingredients to
a very large stock pot with a lid and boil on high heat. The water does not have to completely cover
the bones, just stir often and turn over the carcass until it falls apart. Cook over several hours depending on how
strong & concentrated you want your broth to be. When ready with nice color, use a colander to
strain the liquid into another container which will separate the bones & bits
from the liquid broth. After the solids
cool, they can be thrown out or composted.
The liquid stock is the part you keep.
The stock broth can be used in lots of other recipes or
frozen & used in the future. By
adding noodles or dumplings to the stock, you have a simple soup where you can optionally add veggies, herbs or meat of your
choice. Other people use stock when
cooking beans to add nutrients.
This is a most basic & nutritious stock recipe and you
can add all sorts of optional things to it and make a million different dishes.

now here's a fun turkey day cartoon where we are reminded that pilgrims created eminent domain laws to steal the homelands of the native americans, so that agriculture could be plundered by industry and later used for food fights... okay i'm sure the illustrators were not thinking about these sorts of serious face issues at the time & i do so love me some tom & jerry cartoon violence lol.
be thankful, everyone
