Made this recipe as given, & as much as I like the combination of fruits & flavors, AND the presentation, my personal preference tells me that another time I really do want to use whole-berry cranberry sauce instead of the jellied kind! That, however, detracts not one iota from this great tasting concoction! I'll definitely be making it again, as I absolutely love the taste of cranberries! Many thanks for sharing the recipe!
