I reduced the recipe to two sandwiches because many Italian grinder sandwich recipes are designed to feed a large group. The flavor is complete and still tastes great the next day when it’s chilled!

I also skipped the cranberry juice. It had plenty of liquid. I added about a teaspoon of fresh grated ginger, a splash of triple sec and a handful of almonds. My husband said it’s the best I’ve ever made. I can’t wait to taste it at our friendsgiving dinner tomorrow night!
Skipped the cranberry juice. Don’t think it needs the extra liquid. Yummy.
