I got this recipe from Cooking Light last year and made it for Thanksgiving. Looked for it this year, finally found it here. This is an excellent and fresh-tasting take on the old-fashioned cranberry sauce. This would be excellent at other times of the year besides the holidays as well. Thanks for posting!

DH brought home FRESH cranberries from Minneapolis, so I made this to go w/some pork chops. A VERY good recipe but it was a wee bit too tart. I think I'll add 1c brown sugar next time.
