Homemade Cranberry Sauce and Jalapeño Cornbread | Thanksgiving Double Trouble - The Papa's Kitchen

Everyone is gearing up for the Thanksgiving dinner, including us here at the Papa’s Kitchen. The Turkey is secured, and with today’s video I’m showing you a few of our necessary additions to that great day that can be made now - ahead of time! That’s important to me, because that day before and day of are hectic enough - so I get as much done as possible. This Fresh Cranberry Sauce and Jalapeño Cornbread are 2 items to make NOW. Hope you enjoy!

When I and my 6 siblings were still at home. Best Thanksgiving memory was we would draw names for Christmas. Just the siblings.

[@debbiephillips1123]

Lol you two are a lot of fun to watch! I can imagine Belle has a great time editing your videos! I always save my bacon grease so I can put a spoonful in my cast iron skillet to warm up with the skillet and mix the excess in my batter before I pour it in the skillet. Love the flavor it gives to my cornbread.

[@thepapaskitchen]

I always do the same

[@virginiawisdom7170]

Lol papa, sue, you two make me smile. Stuffing is my favorite side

[@colleenmauler5556]

We have corn bread stuffing but we always add a little extra something!!! Salsa, pickled jalapeño ,

[@lindawatson3356]

We always had the canned cranberry sauce, really good on a turkey sandwich.

[@thepapaskitchen]

It is. I just prefer this homemade sauce and it too is fantastic on cold Turkey sandwiches!! Which for me is why you have Turkey in the first place - THE SANDWICHES

[@andreamaibach153]

Haha…you guys are funny…I was screaming at my phone Cracker Barrel ❤ glad you got the answer. Have a happy Thanksgiving 😊

Mr. Jerry. 1st let me tell you I am a Georgia peach. My mama taught me that you only have one Pan that is used for corn bread nothing else is cooked in it. Plus you had one cast iron baking Is Pan for homemade Biscuits. Love your videos. You and miss Susan are enjoyable to watch. And I have a feeling miss Susan was a better cook than she let's own.😊

I usually finely dice the jalapeños and add to the cornbread mixture, but LOVE the look of the jalapeño rings on top and will try this next time. Thanks! 🤗

[@maryannwagner6192]

We always make cranberry relish for Thanksgiving. We grind 1 bag cranberries, 1 orange (grind the peel also) & 1 cup sugar. Delicious.

[@thepapaskitchen]

I’ll bet!!

[@carolhilboldt5318]

My grandmother taught me to mix up the pumpkin, sugar, and spices for our pumpkin pies up to three weeks ahead of thanksgiving. The mixture would strengthen in all those good flavors and then we would add the milk and eggs right before we baked the pies. It’s been a tradition in our family since the late 1800s. Great video today!

[@thepapaskitchen]

WOW - - I like that thinking!!!!

[@marykayejenrich7845]

Add ½ tsp of cinnamon (or to taste) to your cranberry sauce. It warms things up just a wee bit. Also, use the knife or can opener trick to get some air into the canned pumpkin. Your pumpkin will slide out of the can.

[@thepapaskitchen]

Good tips!! Thanks

[@marykayejenrich7845]

[@Heavncentt]

See, we grew up with the canned cranberry sauce from Ocean Spray. That is what I now serve my family. It's just a tasty tradition for me so I have never been interested in making homemade. It just won't be the same to us on Thanksgiving without it. Yours does look delicious, and it would be fun to try for a non-holiday meal. Every year for Thanksgiving, it's just our little family of 3. Our son is young, so he doesn't eat a lot of the offerings. But, we order a ham and turkey from Honeybaked Ham and then I make all of the sides myself. We eat earlier in the afternoon, usually around 1-2. Then that night, we make turkey sandwiches for a late night snack. Our turkey sandwiches have to be on soft white bread, lots of mayo, white meat turkey, and black pepper. So good!

[@thepapaskitchen]

Great traditions. Thanks for sharing. You made me want to invite myself to your place and share a sandwich later thanksgiving night 🤣. There is nothing in this world that quite as good as Turkey sandwich on soft white bread. Use Dukes mayo or for a crazy switchup try Miracle Whip

[@judybeckner6559]

Cornbread dressing & giblet gravy are my favorites. Your cranberry sauce sounds delicious!

[@janetbarth5372]

I like cornbread a lot but someone made it with a can of creamed corn was so good that's the only way I make it now little sister liked it to now she has her grandkids making it that way

[@laurahiggins3027]

I love pretzel salad. It’s a staple at every holiday meal. We make it with strawberries, raspberries, or whatever berries are available in our freezers.

[@stephaniemccollum8019]

If you open the bottom of the can of cranberry sauce just a little bit with the can opener, after taking the top lid off, it releases the suction and slides out. I like the knife around the edges of the opened can too!! Thumbs up! Please keep the videos coming! I absolutely love Papas Kitchen videos! Especially with Susan on camera and clean up crew!

[@cathydecarles7084]

PaPa and Nana Susan you are so wonderful i just love watching you both and all your beautiful Family’s you cook wonderful food

We love making the pies. One pumpkin and one pecan. Special

[@samanthagreen938]

Hey, I love the canned jellied cranberry sauce! My family would riot if we brought anything else to the table.😊 It is not Thanksgiving without my mother’s southern hot pork sausage dressing and baked macaroni and cheese. Even though she has passed away, this is still enjoyed by my siblings and I every Thanksgiving. I wish you two and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday (even if you don’t have the canned cranberry sauce).

[@thepapaskitchen]

love a pork sausage dressing

[@darlenelamountain2831]

It's Cracker Barrel...lol. My husband and friend drove my Mom from Florida to New York one time and they kept telling her if she didn't straighten up they were going to buy her a rocking chair and put her on the roof..... Well she passed away in September and our friend sent flowers and the card said to our Cracker Barrel Momma..... such a nice memory every time I hear Cracker Barrel. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

we always made a cranberry relish with uncooked cranberries, two apples one orange and 1-2 cups ground walnuts.

Cranberry dish is delicious! I do a similar version that included walnuts. Looked delicious with the added jalopenos. Here in Grayson County Virginia, the old timers corn bread always had a nice crust on it. Tradition to me.

We always had the canned jelly cranberry sauce especially for turkey sandwiches later. My Mama’s stuffing and my beer glazed carrots are must haves but my Mama would make turnip,creamed onions, candied yams, broccoli corn casserole, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, she’d have so many she say everybody doesn’t like everything so she wanted something for everyone. We all loved my Mama’s stuffing and even made stuffing sandwiches she’d say you know your making a bread sandwich know one cared.

[@thepapaskitchen]

I’ll bet Mama’s stuffing was great!! I have a Mashed Potatoes (with an easy twist) and baked Mac and Cheese coming out Saturday then Green Beans and Brussels Sprouts next Wednesday

One of our favorite sides is green rice, it has spinach and cheddar cheese, eggs, evap milk, onion, cooked in the crock pot. Never give cranberry sauce to cats, it can cause urinary problems. Your recipe looks yummy. I love it with turnkey and stuffing.

I used to do the whole turkey but one of our local stores chops the turkey breast off and sells it that way. Now I just buy a couple of those because we all like the white meat and cook it in the Instapot. Perfect turkey that is moist.

[@thepapaskitchen]

Tell you what I've done for the last couple years - - - Popeyes Cajun Turkey. It comes cooked so all you do is thaw and reheat - - - it's wonderful moist and full of flavor and I don't have to mess with the big bird anymore. A true answer to prayer!!!!

[@karenswartz8280]

We make ours similarly, with the addition of either cherry, raspberry, or cranberry jello (depending upon what’s available), and drained, crushed pineapple. We pretty much have a traditional meal, though I hate green bean casserole. It still shows up somehow. I’d rather some roasted balsamic Brussels Sprouts, corn, or asparagus even.. my favorite side is my Sweet Potato Casserole With Oat Streusel. It has a sweetness to it, has the butter and brown sugar and seasonings but it’s not that sticky sweet, gooey marshmallow stuff..plus, bonus points for being a little bit healthier. There isn’t usually much, if any left.. I’d be happy to share if you’d like the recipes. Personal favorites are the desserts. I make 2 different Bundt cakes that everyone asks for….Chocolate Chip Dump Cake, and one called The Good Cake. It has a surprise ingredient in it, and the aroma while baking will drive you crazy. I know you’re a scratch cook mostly, but I have to tell you, these cakes do. Not have that box cake taste or texture. Both are very moist. I’d be happy to share these recipes as well. Just let me know!
