Wow, LT! This does sound like a keeper!


Sounds yummy! Do you need to cover it at the end of baking? I was wondering if the sugar in the sauce turned really dark brown or if it kept a reddish color.


No need to cover this. The cranberries retain a beautiful red color - makes a nice presentation.


So different and lip smackingly good! saving this, thanks!
