Leave a reply

I can’t remember where I got the recipe, but basically it’s:

  • 1lb Fresh Cranberry
  • 1 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1/2 Cup Crushed Pineapple
  • 1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts (or less – depending on preference)
  • Sprinkle of Ground Cinnamon & Clove

Directions:

  • Wash the Cranberries and set aside
  • Bring the Water and Sugar to a boil
  • Add the Cranberries and Clove and keep stirring
  • Once the Cranberries pop open, add the crushed pineapple
  • Next add the Walnuts and Cinnamon and Blend
  • Cool & Serve

The actually recipe also calls for a whole orange to be chopped up (unpeeled) and added – but I skipped that part.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 4 slices of bread, torn into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen mixed berries, thawed and drained

Directions

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Turn off the heat, add the honey, and stir to combine.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the eggs, ricotta, and sugar. Using a fork, mix to combine and beat the eggs. Add the milk, orange juice, butter and honey mixture, and bread. Stir to combine. Gently fold in the berries.

Place the ingredients in a 10-inch round (2-quart) baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the strata until golden on top and baked through, about 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon into dishes and serve.
