alfred, fresh cranberries are sometimes sold at S&R Price Club, several locations in Metro-Manila, usually around October to December when they are in season in the U.S. Or you can buy frozen cranberries at Santis delicatessens once in a while.

Try adding canned (or fresh) mandarin orange, and then topped it with roasted slivers of almond. My relatives came from Quezon and there we have the sour liputi (looks like duhat but rounder) and I missed this fruit so much. So I substitute cranberries, placed them in tupperware, put lots of rock salt, and then shake. We called them “kinulunggo”. Then eat them, and its good. Makes your mouth pucker. Says my hipag, di daw siya kumakain nito kasi it makes her looks ugly, eh bakit daw, so yun dapat kainin daw yung mapapa-ngiti ka, which makes one pretty. LOL.

Maria Clara, Try finding Northern Spy Apples for your Thanksgiving pies- they absolutely are the best pie apple. Available in the East and Michigan as well from October through December. Bruises easily so is seldom shipped commercially- superior flavour, juicy, tart and sweet, distinct aroma and tender but keeps its shape. Very good eaten fresh as well.

Del, frozen works just as well, they just won’t seem as bright or fresh… but they should still be okay…

Do you think it would make a big difference if I use frozen cranberries? My neighbor gave me 2 huge grocery bags full of cranberries from his garden a few months ago and itÂ´s still sitting in my freezer.

This really makes me look forward to Thanksgiving. I made the same type of cranberry compote a couple of years back, more out of curiosity than anything. I’d seen several versions of the compote made on a few Food Network Thanksgiving specials and I got curious and inspired, and wanted to see the cranberries popping and gelling for myself. The results were good, flavors bright, and nothing like the canned jelly.

Thanksgiving sandwiches are the best! Turkey, cranberry relish, and a little stuffing/dressing on a really good bread – yummy!

I’ve always loved cranberries…although it’s not popular here in the Phil. Healthy too. I always marvel how Thanksgiving is celebrated in the U.S.
