These Cranberry Cocktail Sausages are an absolute must have to get the party started at the holidays. Sweet, tangy, and a little bit spicy, they're absolutely awesome.
Post-covid it seems harder than ever to get people together. We've all gotten so used to being isolated in our homes, that it hardly seems worth the effort to go around to a friend's house for dinner and drinks. If you're lucky enough to be hosting friends for the holidays, I hope you're going all out. We all deserve a chance to laugh and eat and make merry with the people we love.
Between the literal darkness of the season and the heaviness that this year has brought to so many people, some might think it's rude to celebrate. I think our joy is the perfect antidote to those who try to keep us living in fear. This is the essence of manifesting. Decide on the type of life you desire, then act as if it's already yours. I want to create a world where we all have the freedom to feel joyful and abundant. So the more happiness and laughter I can create, the more love there is in the world.
What makes Cranberry Cocktail Sausages so awesome?
These Cranberry Cocktail Sausages are going to make everyone happy. And if you're feeding vegans, I'm sure this would work with a plant-based sausage as well. Yes, the little bursts of savoury pork are absolutely awesome, but what makes this special is the sticky glaze they're cooked in. A simple combination of cranberry sauce, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and citrus juice, this has the perfect combination of sweet, savoury, spicy, and acidic. All the flavor notes are in perfect balance.
I say you go old school and put a shot glass full of toothpicks next to these little babies. People are going to have a hard time not wanting to eat them all. These are great hot out of the oven, but they also stay great as they cool to room temperature as well. Of course, you don't want to leave them out for more than an hour, but they're unlikely to last that long. They're too delicious.
Magical Properties of Soy Sauce
Besides being the perfect umami bomb, soy sauce also brings its own magical energy to your dish. Tied to the elements of earth and fire as well as the planet Saturn, soy sauce can be used to for banishing and protection. And just like the flavor enhances anything you add to it, its energy can enhance the power of the spell you're crafting, like turning up the volume.
