I cheated a bit and added all of the "extra" spices and flavours to my canned cranberry sauce which I had already purchased when you suggested this recipe. This added a truly perfect flavour to my favourite part of turkey dinner! I plan to make this again and next time try it right from scratch,and I may use a little less honey too. This recipe is great for anyone wanting to jazz up plain old canned sauce. Thanks!
