Best Salty And Sweet Cranberry Citrus Brine Recipes
FRESH SWEET CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH A TWIST
I've been making these cranberries for nearly 30 years. It's the first thing I prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I make them the weekend before so they have lots of time to sit and have even better flavor! I hollow out fresh oranges for serving cups. Makes a beautiful presentation and I use the orange segments in my turkey brine. Cut the oranges in a zig-zag pattern around the center to make it even more holiday special! Make ahead several days before serving for best flavor. I suppose they could be served warm as well, but I find the coolness of the berries is a nice contrast with the other hot foods in the meal. You can use 2 to 3 cinnamon sticks in place of ground cinnamon, which will yield a lighter color.

SWEET AND SALTY NUTS AND CRANBERRIES
This looked so good I had to copy it down. It is from Dishing Up Maine by Brooke Dojny and looks like the perfect snack to serve with drinks. If you don't have Cajun seasoning there is a combination of peppers listed below that you can use as a substitute.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl toss the almonds, butter, sugar, and Cajun seasoning (you may substitute 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper for the Cajun seasoning).
- Pour the nut mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally until nuts are one shade darker - about 25 minutes. *Note - the time may be less if you are using almonds that are already roasted.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt.
- Set aside to cool.
- When cool toss the nuts with the cranberries.
- This will last 1 week at room temperature or 3 weeks in the freezer.
