Happy Holidays from CNC Cookbook and Try Our Cranberries if You Like

I want to wish all of our readers and customers a hearty, “Happy Holidays!” We’re glad to have you as part of the CNCCookbook family which I am happy and thankful to say has grown considerably over the last year. To date over 7000 machinists have tried our products and a number have bought.

Sometime late tomorrow or Friday I will be announcing what our Holiday Promotion will be this year. We usually do several things including a sale and something a little bit zany for existing customers to show our gratitude. Last year we gave every existing customer a free 1 year subscription to G-Wizard they could give away to a friend.

If you’re thinking about buying, or you recently bought, and you’re fretting that you’ve missed out on the special offers by ordering too early, don’t fret. We always go back 30 days and credit everyone with a refund as though they’d taken advantage of our promotion.

Sorry to scare you with my ugly mug, and sorry I don’t have more pumpkin pie on hand!

Enough of that. I just finished making a batch of my special Cranberry Ginger Compote, and wanted to share the recipe on the off-chance someone else is as much a cranberry nut as I am. It’s super easy to make and so tasty. Here is my recipe:

4 cups fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1/4 cup mild (light) molasses

 

Combine the cranberries, water, sugar, ginger and shallot in a heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cover and cook until the cranberries burst (about 10 minutes). Stire in the molasses. Season with salt. Cool. Cover and chill until cold, about 3 hours.

One last thought about those cranberries. I don’t know if you like Cosmopolitans as cocktails, but a spoonful of the cranberries in the bottom of the glass adds loads of flavor and makes for a festive cocktail for the season. We’ll be enjoying a round of Cosmos just before we sit down to the big feast tomorrow.

Once again, Happy Holidays to you and your family!
