Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

For quicker preparation, Grandma would make the cranberry-horseradish spread through step 1 up to 4 days ahead. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

If you don’t use the entire can of cranberry sauce for these sandwiches, store the leftovers in the refrigerator. When warmed, cranberry sauce makes a great topping for waffles or French toast.

Great Pairings

Short-Cut Green Beans

Early summer is the time to stock up on inexpensive fresh green beans. Boil or steam them for 1 minute, drain, then freeze in small plastic bags. Use in this recipe, adding 20 minutes of cooking time.
