Everyone loved this recipe for Thanksgiving! I loved the colorful vegetables/cranberry. Just the right amount of ingredient ratio and young and old all liked. Great change from my boring vegetable sides. I'll be using this one all year around, even if I cannot find cranberries! Thanks for posting!

I cooked this recipe to the tee, but ended up throwing it out. I'm not sure why so many people liked it!

I loved this dish and will be making it often. I will point out, however, that it took a lot longer for my carrots to get tender. Maybe your carrots are smaller than what I can get. The flavor combination is excellent, though. Next time, I think I'll cook the carrots til half done before making the rest of the recipe. Thanks for posting.

Delicious! Easy and beautiful, too. I loved the combination of ingredients and was surprised my kids did, too. Served this for Christmas dinner but it's so easy and good, I'd serve with roast chicken, ham, or pork as well as that Thanksgiving turkey. Be sure to use cooking apples like Granny Smith which will hold up to baking without turning to mush. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
