You know how some recipes start out by accident? Well, I was in the middle of making cranberry sauce when my S.O. called and was lost coming home from a conference in a nearby state. I ran to the computer to get directions, came back to my sauce, and accidentally put in cumin instead of cardamom. Not good, since the sauce was for a cake! I did my best to scoop out the cumin and then I posted on Facebook what had just happened. Everyone reminded me that that might not be such a bad thing! I could just develop it into a sauce with a different flavor profile and serve it in a savory fashion. So I tried it, and it worked. What d'ya know. —Sherry K-Jazzy Gourmet
