    Very good. The last couple of years I've really gotton a taste for cranberries. This will be a wonderful side for summer barbeques as well as Thanksgiving and Christmas. I really enjoyed this. - 3/12/09

    I like the sound of this - will maybe give it a try soon.
    It also sound like it would be good as an extra for a beef fondue - which I'm intending to have for family next March.

    Cranberries are not just for Thanksgiving dinner!
    Often times, salt is used to offset bitterness. What is its purpose in this otherwise appealing recipe? I will omit it! Thanks for posting it.

    Incredible!
    This was awesome! My whole family loved it. I used splenda instead of sugar, added some pomegranate seeds, and the zest of two oranges. I even dumped in the rind of one orange, and it was delicious after being boiled in the cranberry sauce. My family has already requested it again for next year. - 11/30/09
