"There are four unbroken rules when it comes to Thanksgiving: there must be turkey and dressing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie."
-John Hadamuscin, Chef

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a great salad dressing for your holiday table. I love cranberry sauce but sometimes you want a little something different. (Something that doesn't have lines from the can on the edges of the cranberry sauce.) This is a light dressing with a lot of great cranberry flavor. The olive oil really complements the cranberries and brings out the fruity flavor and aromas.

This recipe keeps well for about 4 days in the refrigerator.

1 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup white wine
1/8 tsp dried tarragon
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Place the cranberries, water, white wine vinegar, white wine, tarragon, salt and pepper in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Cover and when the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer.

Simmer for about 30 minutes until most of the liquid has reduced.

Let cool and then blend until smooth. Add the olive oil and whisk until smooth. Chill.

Prior to serving, if the dressing is too thick, add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time to thin.
