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:
To make homemade lollipops, boil sugar, cream of tartar and water. Add flavor and coloring, then pour them into molds or drop a serving size spoon-full onto wax-paper.

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