What to do with leftover cranberry sauce: make cranberry sauce and yogurt parfaits!

Since this easy cranberry yogurt recipe keeps in the fridge for five days, you can totally meal prep these parfaits for breakfast! I think breakfast can be the hardest meal of the day because most people are rushing off to work. So it’s nice to have something like these parfaits prepped and ready to eat.

This recipe is also very kid-friendly! These parfaits are loaded with probiotic yogurt, making them a gut-healthy snack for little ones. If your child doesn’t enjoy cranberries, simply switch out the cranberry for their favorite fruit or jam! The yogurt and granola pair well with just about any fruit.

Leftover Cranberry Sauce and Yogurt Parfaits

Who else thinks that Thanksgiving leftovers are the best thing ever? Thanksgiving is like a huge meal prep session, and the key is keeping things interesting as you chow on leftovers for five days! I feel like the thanksgiving cranberry sauce is what others struggle to find a use for. Not in our house though, because cranberry sauce is my favorite Thanksgiving side!

Well, here is how you can use that cranberry sauce for a healthy and delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert parfait. Simply layer yogurt, granola, and cranberry sauce in a jar… viola! You’ve got leftover cranberry sauce fruit and yogurt parfait.

Cranberry Yogurt and Granola Parfaits

These parfaits are healthy and you can make them vegan and gluten-free depending on the ingredients you choose. You can use dairy yogurt or vegan yogurt, any granola that you love, and any fruit. I highly recommend using the leftover cranberry sauce though! It’s so yummy. Here’s everything you need for these parfaits:

  • Yogurt or Vegan Yogurt
  • Granola
  • Cranberry Sauce

Recipe in caption🍋🥒 I fermented some super plain Recipe in caption🍋🥒

I fermented some super plain pickles (just salt, water, cucumbers) and figured they would be perfect to make a hydrating summer lemonade! It’s more like a lemonade concentrate and then you can add water to dilute it to your liking! Honestly super surprised at how amazing this tastes. I suggest maple syrup or organic cane sugar to sweeten bc honey is acidic and this lemonade doesn’t really need more acidity.

Probiotic Pickle Lemonade:

5-6 large lemons, peeled and cut in half
~10 ounces plain pickles with brine (fermented) 
3/4 cup maple syrup (or sugar)
Water

Add everything to your blender with enough water to cover the lemons and pickles.
Blend on high for about a minute or two
Strain through one layer of cheesecloth into a pitcher
Taste and dilute with more water to your liking and serve over ice.
(Makes about 8 servings)

It’s been a while since I’ve gone to the farmers market and bought whatever looked great, with no real plans on what to do with it.  Almost forgot how much fun it is to play around with fermentation with no plan. 

p.s. you may notice our content start to look a little different. Since we just moved from our tiny apartment into a house, we now have the space to make our content in the kitchen instead of on a fold out table in our bedroom lol :) I’m so excited for this new szn of Cultured Guru

Pickle Pursuit Ep. 3 Bread and Butter Pickles with @ballcanning 

Let’s just say that I’ve fully entered my canning girl era.

A perfect pool day or beach day sandwich requires a sweet pickle, and that’s where water bath canning pickles comes in! It’s just not possible to get a classic, sweet bread and butter pickle with fermentation.

As a food microbiologist, I love the connection here. Canning pickles is all about stopping microbial growth, but when water bath canning pickles, we still rely on a vital fermented ingredient: vinegar. Even when we’re trying to keep microbes out, we still rely on them, just in a different way! 😍🥒

Grab your jars and try a recipe from the 38th Edition Ball® Blue Book Guide to Preserving or BallMasonJars.com to get started canning pickles this season! All Ball® home canning recipes are tested and approved for safety, and that’s why I love them.
