Holiday Whole Cranberry Sauce W/ a Twist
"My family loves the cranberry sauce. They used to buy the jellied canned variety until I introduced them to whole cranberry sauce. Now, it's a family tradition. I found this recipe in a book and I know there have been different variations of it, but this one is just right for me."

This is great. The cinnamon really adds a little extra kick to the berries. We like ours a little more tart, so cut sugar to 2/3 cups, but will try with 1/2 cup next time. Loved the extra texture the walnuts gives this. Made for Fall 2009 PAC.

I live in Topeka, KS. I LOVE TO COOK! However, I get alot of my ideas from family recipe books, and my favorite HAMBURGER cookbook. It's my lifesaver most the time. I do a lot of Rachael Ray recipes, and I do a lot of recipes that don't have a lot of ingredients in them and don't have a long complicated process to do. I love to spend time with family and do outdoor things. Except when it gets cold or icy. Then I hibernate in my house and just cook! I don't know if I have any hobbies yet, but I enjoy decorating and party/planning. I like taking pictures too. Well, that's about all I can think of.</p>
