Baked Cranberry Sauce a'la Orange

Bergy's Note:

This recipe is so great - you just bake the cranberry sauce along with the turkey. There are similar recipes here on Zaar for stovetop Cranberry/Orange Sauce but I love doing it in the oven while the big bird is roasting. Will keep for up to 2 weeks. This is a Chatelaine recipe

Simple, but outstanding recipe! The sherry adds a nutty taste that complements the cranberries well. I used half sugar, half Splenda, with excellent results. I will never buy canned cran sauce again! When cold, this can be spread lightly over lite cream cheese on a multigrain bagel for a different breakfast treat. Thank you Bergy for a great recipe.
