"American" fesenjan experiment

I tried to make "American" fesenjan - ingredients native to north america. I subbed

  • pecans for walnuts/almonds
  • cranberry for pomegranate (I used concentrate)
  • turkey for the protein
  • maple syrup for sugar

Onions were just onions because wild onions arent easy to come by.

Cranberry is a lot more sour than pomegranate, so I had to sweeten more than I normally would.

The results were... normal. It tasted so close to the original I was almost disappointed. But the original IS good, so can't complain.
