This started out as a mini round-up of Thanksgiving leftover recipes that don’t involve turkey, but when I realized that three of the five recipes were made with cranberry sauce – and I didn’t want to stop there – that I should just keep cranberry sauce, arguably the best part about Thanksgiving. I always make gobs of the stuff, not only because I love it, but also because I love the leftovers.

We didn’t have any leftover cranberry sauce this year. I actually bought more cranberries last night to make another batch. I was planning to eat it by the spoonful, but now I want to make all of these recipes! Maybe I need to pick up a third bag of cranberries 🙂
The leftover cranberry sauce muffins with oatmeal are fabulous. I also make my own sauce and always have too much left, even after all the turkey dinner leftovers. These turned out great! Thanks!!
