Cranberry Orange Sauce (for Thanksgiving)

One of Peg's friends made this and gave her some and she brought it for Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago. I love it.

Six cups of cranberries (two bags)
three cups of orange juice
three cups of sugar (I use two cups white and one cup brown)

boil those ingredients for about ten minutes.

skim off the top and let it cool (I don't get enough
foam to skim off, so I don't really follow this step)

you can add a few tablespoons of orange marmalade to add sweetness.
(I plan to add a half a jar)

Onion Soup: Crockpot

BETTY CROCKER French Onion Soup

3 large onions, sliced (3 cups)
3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cans of beef broth

Cheesy Broiled French Bread
8 slices French bread, 1 inch thick
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)
2 tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

1 Mix onions and margarine in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
2 Cover and cook on high heat setting 30 to 35 minutes or until
onions begin to slightly brown around edges.
3 Mix flour, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and pepper. Stir flour
mixture and broth into onions. Cover and cook on low heat
setting 7 to 9 hours (or high heat setting 3 to 4 hours) or until
onions are very tender.
4 Prepare Cheesy Broiled French Bread. Place 1 slice bread on
top of each bowl of soup. Serve immediately.

I added a bit of minced garlic to the mixture in the crockpot. When
it came time to do the french bread,I found mold on my french bread, so
I substituted several soft buns. I buttered one side and sprinkled some
garlic salt on that side, and put under the broiler for a bit, then
flipped the pieces over, and toasted for a bit. Then I put the bread
on top of bowls of the soup, and put shredded italian cheese and grated
parmesan on top and put back under the broiler until lightly browned.

It was very, very good!
