Cranberry Sauce

INGREDIENTS

12 ounces cranberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup crushed pineapple

* salt & pepper to taste
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, mash butter beans. Mix in onion, jalapeno pepper, crackers, egg, cheese, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. Divide into 4 equal parts and shape into patties.

I serve on toasted buns with mayo, lettuce & tomato
