POST A COMMENT, WIN A TURKEY

ZESTY ORANGE CRANBERRY SAUCE

HowWe’re Passing on the Kindness of Concerts for Hope

Skip the can-shaped cranberry sauce this year and bring a jar of homemade sauce to Thanksgiving instead. This easy recipe can be made ahead of the big event and keeps for 10 days in the fridge.

Earlier this year, our team stumbled across an incredible foundation called Concerts for Hope. It’s run by Eric Genuis, a world-class composer, pianist, and inspirational speaker. Eric is so good at playing the piano that he could easily spend all of his time wowing paying guests at big venues and private parties. However, instead, he chooses to bring music to people in tough situations. Along with other musicians and his partner Andre Norman, Eric performs concerts, gives music lessons, and tells stories in places like veterans rehab centers, memory care facilities, inner-city schools, and prisons. It all happens under the Concerts for Hope umbrella. This year, Eric will perform his 1,000th prison show — a number we think is pretty incredible.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed

• •

1/2 cup water 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar

• • •

12 oz fresh cranberries

2 tsp orange zest

Salt to taste

Eric told Melissa, “I have learned that in many geographical areas, prison has become culture. My hope is to change that culture.”

DIRECTIONS

Andre has an equally amazing background. According to Concerts for Hope, he “overcame gangs, poverty, a 100-year prison sentence, and two years in solitary confinement” to become a motivational speaker. He also founded The Academy of Hope, an organization working to decrease violence in prisons. As you can imagine, our team here at Emery Law Office couldn’t resist donating to Concerts for Hope when we heard about Eric and Andre’s mission! In an unexpected gesture, when we made our donation Concerts for Hope gave us something, too: an organic, free-range turkey raised just half an hour away in Shelbyville. To continue the chain of giving, we want to pass this delicious turkey on to a reader for their Thanksgiving table — and the winner could be you! All you have to do to get a shot at the turkey is visit our Facebook page, Facebook.com/EmeryLawOffice, and post about something you’re thankful for. Everyone who leaves a comment before Nov. 15 will have their name entered into the drawing. We can’t wait to hear your 2020 blessings!

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the orange juice, water, and sugar to a boil. Add other ingredients, then bring mixture back to boiling. 2. Reduce the heat to medium and cook gently for 10–12 minutes, until the cranberries burst. 3. Transfer the sauce to a bowl or jar, cover, and refrigerate until serving.
