Cranberry flavor at its best. I made this for a seving of 7-8, and for 4 of us it was well enjoyed. Glad that I made extra. I did replace the molasses with corn syrup. The curry taste was fantastic here too. Made for Gimme 5.

Delicious. Doubled the recipe and made it for a pot luck dinner. Everyone enjoyed these tasty little bites. The only change I made was to use dark corn syrup instead of molasses, person preference only. Will try the sauce with some tiny meatballs some time too because it is so tasty. Made for PRMR game.

Tasty little weiners. I put them in the crockpot on low with the lid off for several hours to thicken up the sauce. I'll be making these again.

Mixed reviews on this one as DH, not terribly keen on hot fruit or anything hot with a fruity taste couldn't get past the cranberries and by himself, would have given this a 2 star rating. I on the other hand liked it very much indeed and would have been most happy to give a 4... so we compromised in the middle with 3 stars. I thought that the curry DID give it something extra, cutting though the other sweetnesses. This was super easy to make and fast, great for a weekday meal in a hurry inbetween school and kiddo swimming lessons. I would definiatey make this again for myself, DH can pass on it and miss out on a good thing. Sorry for him. Thanks!
