Carrie,

Wonderful article!

When I was just a teenager, more years ago than I can believe, I created a "family recipe". I call it Aunt April's Cranberry Medley. Anyway, my family always expects the family recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I throw a number of fresh ingredients, including Cranberries and Oranges in my VitaMix and in a matter of minutes, I have the most tasty side dish around...after I throw in some Walnuts, too.

My niece married Valentines Day a year ago in a beautiful informal wedding, complete with a Pot Bless lunch (same as a Pot Luck). Her request from me? Aunt April's Cranberry Medley.

My VitaMix broke so it isn't as easy for me to make anymore...but we all still love Cranberries.

May you always have Cranberries in your freezer!

Thank you, April! I wish I had a bigger freezer. . .

I have to ask - what's a Vita-Mix? Like a Cuisinart? A blender? At first I thought it was a brand of vitamin mix, but that didn't sound good enough for a wedding!

Carrie,

It is a Mega Blender. We love it: I've made everything from Peanut Butter to Boiling Hot Fresh Soup to Salsa to Juice to Bean Dip to Ice Cream in it. It beats everything up into itty bitty pieces. I think it is VitaMix dot com, not sure.

Blessings!
