Making Cranberries!




Making Cranberries with Grandma Jean (and Aunt Gayle who was noticably absent this year) has become a treasured tradition in our family). What exactly are we making, you ask?

It is a cranberry, apple and orange relish that is put through and old-fashioned grinder and has sugar added to be eaten alongside Turkey on Thanksgiving day. The Otts are crazy for it. Specifically my father-in-law. This and dill pickles. But, that's another story.

Anyway, so, this is the first year that Schaeffer has been tall enough and strong enough to do the crank--and while she was occasionally distracted by her shiny red tricycle that also resides in the basement--she enjoyed helping and had a great time.
