Not so much Cooking preparing my mom is cutting up all of the stuff for the Dressing, and she's baking her Sweet Potato Pies.

6 dozen cookies, 2 pies and cranberry sauce, the real stuff, not that canned crap.

Mix 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of water to dissolve. Bring water and sugar mixture to a boil. Add whole cranberries. Bring to a boil again. Lower heat and gently boil cranberries for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Place in bowl and put the lid on and allow to cool at room temp. Once it has cooled to room temp, place in refrigerator. It's so easy even I can do it. :yeah
