    Also, my boyfriend's godmother said we could try adding salt, because salt can sometimes counter the spices. But she's not sure. Whatcha think? Hi Yahoo answers, So I am going to my boyfriends' house for thanksgiving and wanted to impress them with my cranberry sauce, but it tastes WAY too much like cloves and I need to balance it out! This is the recipe I followed: (serves 6) 2 cups cranberries 2 tablespoons water 1 orange, chopped 1/2 cup honey 1/4 tsp cloves 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp ginger 1 tsp grated orange rind 1/2 cup walnuts Cook cranberries in water until berries start to pop (about 8 mins). Add apples and continue to cook 5 minutes or until apples are tender. Stir in spices and honey. Simmer for 3-5mins. Remove from heat and add orange rind and nuts. We did one batch that turned out wonderfully, then we did another second batch in which we quadrupeled the recipe. This second batch tastes so strongly of cloves, even though we only put in 1 tsp as the recipe read. Nooo! Please help me either balance it out with something else or tell me how I can fix it. We also added a final batch of cranberry sauce to this bad batch and it didn't even it out at all really. Please help! Thanks YahooAnswers for being there in my hour of need!

    Cooking & Recipes - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    So my original plan was to make my entire pie today, and hope it stayed fresh for Thanksgiving. But from the response I got from my last question, I have decided to just make my pie filling today, and then finish putting the pie together tomorrow and baking it. do you think this is going to be ok? will my pie filling stay fresh? Sorry, I should have included that it was an Apple pie :-)

  • Baking a chicken: how long?

    Cooking & Recipes - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I am cooking a whole chicken in a roast pot. It is 3-4 ilbs. I defrosted it entirely, washed it, removed the tidbits from inside, rubbed it down with shortening, and put it in a roast pot and put 4 cubed up gold potatoes around the edge. Been cooking on 350F now for just over an hour. So, the liquid is boiling on its own(the juices I didn't add water) the liquid comes out very yellowish, thick in color, but clear. It is clear running out. But the skin is still wet and very light colored, not browned and crisp like I expected. How much longer does it need to cook? Stainless roast pot with lid. I am at 5,000 ft elevation BTW. This needs to work out as it is all the food I have right now. Will it brown? Does it need to? Please help
  • Is it weird to eat whole bell peppers?

    Other - Food & Drink - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    kinda stupid question...but me and my mom constantly fight about it because whenever we go to the store and pick up a four-pack of bell peppers. I just grab one, cut it up into pieces and munch away. she always tells me that most people only eat 1/2 of one to 1/4 one at a time and that nobody usually eats the whole thing...blah blah. So tell me, do you think this is weird? they're just so goood, I can't ever imagine limiting myself. :P
