This was AWESOME!! Wow, I still can't believe it. The sauce had a sweet-tart taste that went very well with the flavor of the pork. We were all licking the saucepan too. Thank you Dancer^

I didn't have fresh cranberiies and used craisins. (Upped the water by 1/4 c. and used less sugar.) Caught my husband liking the saucepan in the kitchen after dinner. Maybe fresh cranberries would give this recipe 5 stars.
