Delicious and looks very elegant!! I sauted the almonds and added them with the cranberries when the rice was almost cooked as I was using Basmati rice (which is long-grain rice). Thanks Bobtail!

This dish is elegant, easy and delicious! I used wild rice and sauteed the rice a little before adding the water. Thanks Bobtail, this is a true 5 star recipe, and I don't hand those out easily!
