I absolutely love cranberries, & needless to say, have my own favorite recipe for whole berry sauce, but I'm always happy to try new recipes, & yours is great! I have bags & bags of frozen berries so am able to make this stuff all year long & we never tire of it! I particularly enjoyed the use of the cloves & allspice in your recipe! Many thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]
