Skillet cranberries for a slack oven

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Fresh cranberries
2 cups Brown or white sugar
¼ cup Brandy

Directions

In 1767, John Adams wrote the following in his journal: "Arrived at Dr.

Tuft's where I found a fine Wild Goose on the Spit, and Cranberries in the Skillet for Dinner." This is what he tasted.

Spread the cranberries in an iron skillet that has a cover. Sprinkle the sugar over the berries, cover the skillet, and place in a "slack" oven (250ø) for 1 hour. Remove the lid and pour the brandy into the skillet.

They are now ready to serve.
