Cranberry Persimmon Relish

You are going to love my Cranberry Persimmon Relish. As you may recall, last week I had a Savory Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce recipe, made with onions, prunes, and raisins. This week's recipe is more simple, having only 7 ingredients and it's also sweet. I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did creating it!

Paleo Sandwich Wrap Recipe: How to Use Leftover Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce

Leftovers: that's the key to a good Thanksgiving! No matter how small or large the turkey, I usually end up with plenty of it to share with my family. But Thanksgiving turkey isn't the only part of the holiday meal that can be used in dishes in the days following Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving cranberry sauce can also be used for dishes that don't have turkey. Yesterday, I shared a great recipe for savory cranberry sauce and today I want to show you how you can use that sauce to make a delicious post thanksgiving, cranberry sauce filled Paleo sandwich wrap.

You can of course make this wrap with leftover thanksgiving turkey or any uncured meat of your liking, but I'm using US Wellness Meats Liverwurst! I got to try this stuff at the Weston A. Price Foundation Conference last weekend in Santa Clara, CA. Made with grass fed beef organ meat, like liver, heart, and kidney, this Liverwurst is one of the most delicious uncured "meats" I've tried in a long time. Organ meats are very high in B12 and other B Vitamins, which I wrote about last week and are a great way to get these vitamins into your diet.

For the wrap, you can use any gluten-free wrap of your choosing, but I'm using Pure Wraps from Improveat. This is the most innovative wrap product I've seen on the market in a while. You can use it for spring rolls, paleo wraps, wontons, burritos and whatever else you can think of. They are raw, allergen free and a great way to get more brain powering coconut into your diet!

Leftover Cranberry Sauce & Liverwurst Paleo Wrap

Thanksgiving Savory Cranberry Sauce: Sugar Free, Grain Free and Orange Free!

Thanksgiving cranberry sauce is on my mind this week. This year, now that I'm a full-fledged blogger, I will need to make two turkeys, one for you guys so you can have a delicious recipe for your Thanksgiving Dinner and one for my family on Thanksgiving to enjoy. The idea of having to brine and bake two birds is a bit overwhelming but I'm committed to providing you with a great Paleo friendly Real Food Thanksgiving Turkey. I've already ordered my practice bird from my butcher shop, Olivier's Butchery. I will be posting the recipe on Monday, November 19th. The plan right now is to make a Chinese Five Spice Turkey! I hope your mouth is watering.

In the meantime, I can concentrate on a savory thanksgiving cranberry sauce. When I develop recipes, I usually spend sometimes looking through all of my cookbooks to see if anything inspires me. Finding a savory thanksgiving cranberry sauce recipes without sugar and oranges was a hard task. I don't like oranges and am avoiding sugar, so all of the countless generic recipes I saw were not inspirational. But then I opened up my trusty, Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. In the book, Sally has a Cranberry Onion Compote, which sounded like an absolutely delicious savory thanksgiving cranberry sauce! I adapted the recipe to be dairy free and made some other changes to make it my own. Now I'm sharing it with you all so you can make it for your family during this Holiday season!
