Are you looking for recipes using cranberry sauce? If your anything like me and wondering what to do with leftover cranberry sauce, these Cranberry Hand Pies are a deliciously easy way to use leftover Cranberry Sauce!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. We’ve got a big trip coming up and I’ll be back home just in time to start preparing to host Thanksgiving dinner at our house- for 20 plus people! I’m starting to feel just a little bit stressed just thinking about everything that needs to get done before then. (It doesn’t help that hubby decided our master closet needed to be repainted and has pulled everything out of the master closet; which somehow caused the rest of the house to explode too!) Luckily, I have my Mom and Dad right next door to help out with all the cooking and entertaining.
With so many people over for Thanksgiving, we usually polish off most of the leftovers by the second day. By the time everyone leaves, the only thing left is a few spoonfuls of green bean casserole, the extra package of rolls in the pantry we forgot to cook and the cranberry jelly.
We never eat all the cranberry jelly- anyone else have this problem? (Though, when I make this cranberry relish recipe, there’s never any leftovers- mainly because I’m the one who eats it all!) I don’t want to waste food, so I’m always trying to come up with creative ways to use up the leftover cranberry sauce. (Like leftover meatloaf.) The yummiest way I’ve found to use the leftover cranberry jelly is to use it as a filling for these tasty mini cranberry pies.
The best part is, since the cranberry pies are made with store-bought puff pastry sheets, they come together in a flash…
Trust me- you can never go wrong with puff pastry!
