Very delicious! I was looking for something easy and a bit different from the usual brown sugar glazes and this was perfect! the cranberry gives it just the right amout of fruit flavor. I didn't have jellied cranberry sauce as we love the whole berry, but I must say it worked just beautifully. I did add the black pepper and do think it's adding another layer of flavor, very yummy! I will make this again! Thank you for posting!
