Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 carrots, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
- 1 stalk celery, cut into 1-inch pieces

Quick Tip
Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Chablis are good dry white wines for cooking. Avoid “cooking wines” sold in the condiment
aisle of the supermarket; they lack flavor and often contain added salt.

Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
