Thanksgiving Recipe: Cranberry Yogurt Ice Cream

This isn't cranberry yogurt ice cream. But this is how we imagine it should be served.

​

If you have an ice cream freezer, you can use this dessert recipe to make ice cream with some of the extra cranberries. You can also vary the recipe to use leftover cranberry sauce if you end up with a bunch of it after the holiday.

The recipe, after the jump.

• 3 cups fresh cranberries
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cream
