Outstanding! Made it pretty much as given, although I did use the lesser amount of the cayenne pepper & used lemon pepper in place of the usual S&P! I'm a huge fan of the cranberry anyway, so the recipe for this sauce really drew me in! Have had it on grilled chicken already & have other plans all lined up for the rest of it! Definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup recipe tag]
