Recipe - Skillet Cranberries For A Slack Oven

1 pound Fresh cranberries
2 cup Brown or white sugar
One fourth cup Brandy

In 1767, John Adams wrote the following in his journal: "Arrived at Dr.
Tuft's where I found a fine Wild Goose on the Spit, and Cranberries in the
Skillet for Dinner." This is what he tasted.

Spread the cranberries in an iron skillet that has a cover. Sprinkle the
sugar over the berries, cover the skillet, and place in a "slack" oven
(250ø) for 1 hour. Remove the lid and pour the brandy into the skillet.
They are now ready to serve.
