This cranberry sauce is amazing! I made this on Thanksgiving and everyone raved over it!!! We poured this over ham, Turkey, and ate it solo. I recommend doubling the recipe bc everyone wanted to take some home! Thank you for this perfect twist on cranberry sauce!

Yum! I cooked this down more than called for, and used less sugar and more rosemary. Also, I replaced the figs with dried sour cherries. Delicious!

I made this last Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. I don't know why the other reviews mention oranges and nuts, but I am reviewing the simple one with cran, rosemary, and port. I am making it two days ahead since at first it was a bit too acidic at first but mellowed beautifully over two days.. Making it again by request and I think it is my permanent cranberry sauce.

I made this recipe with dried apricots instead of figs, and it was great. Definitely give this recipe a try, not very hard and very good with meatballs or poultry.
