Author Notes: I threw this together with what I had on hand on Thanksgiving morning this year. Alongside a Thanksgiving (or Christmas) turkey or smeared on sandwiches, this five-minute, four ingredient cranberry schmutz was a little tart, a little sweet, and exactly perfect. I’m putting a little schmutz on a pumpkin muffin for breakfast, too. If there were ever a reason to stop sliding that factory cranberry sludge out of a can, this is it. —ALittleZaftig
