These are so tasty. Sweet n' Sourish. Unexpected use of that left over can of cranberry sauce!

I have to admit that I saw some of the ingrediants and had to just trust that other people said it was good. It was a hit at my dinner party and we really liked it. We did some with turkey meatballs and some of my friends liked it even better. Overall, a very tasty meal. Thanks for submitting.
