Recipes Using Leftover Cranberry Sauce

Who doesn't love that tart and sweet holiday condiment? Deliciously homemade or a wonderfully wiggly can shape, I love it all!

For many years, I have made the same Ginger Cranberry Sauce with little variation. We all love it so much, I just can't make another.

The sweet tart cranberry itself - I love them too! Dried cranberries show up in my recipes all year long, as I wait only sort of patiently for the fresh ones to arrive at the holidays.

As I am known to do, cranberry sauce is often something I double the recipe for. ...and then still end up making more fairly soon after. The reason I make so much? I love to add cranberry sauce to other recipes!

While the concept of "leftover" cranberry sauce eludes me in general, I deliberately make more than enough with plans to add it to favorite recipes.

Do you love cranberry sauce as much as I do? Are there ever leftovers...?

In addition to the favorite creations from my kitchen, I scoured the web for the best ideas using that so called "leftover" sauce, or just recipes using cranberries in general.
