Cranberry Sauce is a festive side dish made from Cranberries and Sugar. Gus sends the recipe once his friendship reaches seven hearts. With only two ingredients, it is one of the simplest Fall recipes to cook in bulk. It gives a short but useful Mining boost, so it works best as a snack eaten right before a trip down the mine. A Traveling Merchant at the Festival of Ice also sells one each year.

The in-game description reads: A festive treat.


Recipe


Gus mails the recipe after his friendship reaches seven hearts. Gus runs the Stardrop Saloon, and he loves Escargot, Fish Taco and Tropical Curry, so a well-stocked kitchen helps reach those seven hearts.

Cooking Cranberries with Sugar makes Cranberry Sauce.

Cranberries are a Fall crop. Pierre's General Store sells Cranberry Seeds in Fall. The plant is ready after seven days and then produces again every five days, so a single planting gives a steady supply through the season.

Pierre's General Store has Sugar in every season. Beets put through a Mill on the farm make it too.

Like every dish, the sauce needs the kitchen in an upgraded farmhouse or a Cookout Kit.

Cranberry Sauce also turns up ready-made. The Traveling Merchant at the Festival of Ice sells one each year. It can also come from Krobus on Saturdays, from the rotating stock at the Stardrop Saloon or from the Garbage Can outside the Saloon. A Skull Cavern treasure room can give five at a time, and a Mystery Box can hold one.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects


Eating Cranberry Sauce gives +2 Mining for about three and a half minutes. It also restores a fair amount of energy and health.

The buff is short, so timing matters. Eating it right at the top of a mine trip, rather than on the walk there, gets the most from it. A second helping later in the run keeps the boost going.

Qi Seasoning makes a stronger sauce. A seasoned Cranberry Sauce is gold quality. Its Mining buff rises by one, the buff lasts half as long again, and it restores 80 percent more energy and health.

Gifts


Cranberry Sauce sells for a modest price. It is cooked for its Mining buff rather than for profit. Qi Seasoning raises its sale price by half.

Most villagers like Cranberry Sauce, as they like most cooked dishes. Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Gus, Haley, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent and the Wizard all like it.

Harvey, Krobus, Leo and Willy dislike it. Harvey dislikes many sweet dishes, and the sugary sauce is one of them.

Gus is on the like list, so the sauce makes a fitting gift for the man who taught it.

Notes


In tailoring, Cranberry Sauce in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes the Flat Topped Hat. Cranberry Sauce also serves the red dye pot in Emily and Haley's house.

Making Cranberry Sauce adds a new dish to the cooking achievements. Cook is the reward for ten different dishes, Sous Chef for twenty-five and Gourmet Chef for every recipe.
