CRANBERRY GLAZED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• If the chops are particularly thick, place each one between two layers of plastic wrap and gently flatten them using the heel of your hand or a wooden mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
• Combine the cranberry relish, rosemary and vinegar (it sometimes helps to warm the cranberry relish a bit in the microwave or a small saucepan). Put half of the cranberry mixture in a container large enough to hold all the chops - this is the marinade. Set aside the second half of the mixture to use later as the glaze.
• Toss the chops with the cranberry marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
• Preheat oven broiler.
• When the broiler is ready, take the chops out of the fridge. Wipe off the marinade, sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, and place them on a rack and broiling pan.
• Position the pan close to the source of heat and broil chops 4 minutes. Brush chops with half of the glaze, broil for another minute. Turn the chops over and broil 2-3 minutes longer. Brush on remaining glaze and broil about a minute longer or until chops are medium-rare or of desired doneness.

THANKSGIVING MEATBALLS WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to broil.
• Make the meatballs: Pulse the bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic, rosemary and thyme in a food processor or blender until finely chopped; transfer to a large bowl. Add the turkey, panko, mayonnaise, egg, paprika, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of black pepper and mix together using a rubber spatula until just combined.
• Dampen your hands with water and shape the mixture into 26 meatballs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (a 1-ounce ice cream scoop is helpful for portioning); arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the meatballs are golden brown and firm, 9 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the cranberry glaze: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the jalapenos. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cranberries, sugar, orange zest and juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until the cranberries begin to soften, and the skin starts to crack, about 2 minutes. Mash the cranberries with a potato masher and stir until the liquid from the cranberries begins to simmer and thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the meatballs to the skillet and toss to coat with the cranberry glaze. Transfer to a platter and serve with toothpicks.
