Daily DIY: A Thanksgiving Time Saver

I can't tell you how often I've witnessed burned gravy on Thanksgiving Day. I mean, in the chef's defense, there's a lot going on --- cooking, visiting, monitoring Uncle Randy's third glass of wine. You know, the basics.

Anyway, this year, try our handy tip to fix that burned gravy and make your cooking mistake our little secret...

After you've burned the gravy, pour it into a new pan and sprinkle a dash of sugar in it. The sugar will counteract the bitterness from the burned gravy, but won't overpower the mixture. Smart, right?

For more holiday kitchen fixes that require just a dash of sugar, check out another great idea from DIY Life:

Proof that all you need this Thanksgiving is a spoonful of sugar!
