Swiss Chard with Cranberries
November 22, 2008
I still am harvesting tons of swiss chard.
When I saw Racheal Ray do a swiss chard with cranberries on Food Network, I knew I had to try it. I loved it so much I am going to do it for Thanksgiving.
It just involves rendering bacon with onion.
Then adding the swiss chard and salt to wilt down.
You then get about 3/4 cup of dried cranberries and cover them with red wine. I used a Merlot.
Microwave these about one minute to plump up, and then pour over the wilted chard. For a final touch add a dash or two of nutmeg.
I loved it!
My family will enjoy this as another Thankgiving side for years to come, I hope!

Wow, does that sound good! Unfortunately a cold snap did in the chard that was not in the hoop house so I’ll have to see if I can find some chard elsewhere to try this. It sounds delicious! Happy Thanksgiving!

This looks very tasty! It would make a lovely Grow Your Own post.

That looks wonderful, but I think my family would snarl at me if I tried to feed them this. Maybe someday….

Ali I hope you can round some up,
Andrea yes it would make a great grow your own post. I am sorry I haven’t applied for many roundups of late. It seems I am too busy or just too lazy?
Julie I think if they tried it they might like it.

Wow, your photos are great, Sue. Makes my mouth water. I did go look at Rachel’s recipe – it had garlic and chicken broth added too. Did you not do that part, I’d guess? My hubby adores chard, so will have to make this really soon.

What a unique pairing. I love them both, so I’m sure I’d love them together.

Hey carolyn and susan,
I didn’t add the garlic or chicken broth because the show I saw didn’t add those things….hummm
It was really good and hubby loves them so it is something I might be making even outside of Thanksgiving.

Oh my – this dish was SO good. I wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks so much for finding this recipe. It will likely become a regular on our dinner menus. I really liked the pairing with the cranberries – I probably used less of them than the recipe called for (probably 1/4 cup). I also didn’t use as much stock at the end – it ends up just staying in the pan and not eaten, so I only used about 1/4 cup or less. I’m writing this up for my blog, too (it will post tomorrow, December 8th). Thanks, Sue.

[...] couple of days ago I was reading Coffee and Cornbread’s blog. You should go look at Sue’s photos of fresh Swiss chard – beautiful. She wrote up a post [...]
