Рецепт Hip to Be Cranberry-Apple Squares
Hip to Be Cranberry-Apple Squares
If you host a holiday party such as Thanksgiving or Christmas you’re almost guaranteed to have leftover cranberry sauce. Once all the leftover turkey disappears it ends up being tucked away in a lonely corner in the fridge.
In the past I’ve found a home for it in a sweet and sour meatball sauce (use the cranberry sauce instead of the grape jelly) but this year Huey Lewis and The News’ song Hip to Be Square has inspired me to turn this red jelly sauce into these sweet Cranberry-Apple squares. Well that’s not entirely true. I saw the recipe in an LCBO magazine (I’ve taken a stab at making it less fattening in the version below).
Although if you are a Huey Lewis fan, I suggest you let your hair down, go ‘80s crazy and crank this ultra poppy song while making these tasty squares…or choose one of his much better tunes. Personally I would go with second option. Cook-On!
Instruments
- 1 large Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
