Author Notes
This cranberry sauce is especially great with a deep fried turkey The spicy, complex flavors cut through the rich crispy skin that we all love. Use one or two peppers depending on your taste and the heat of the individual peppers. The recipe calls for one cup of light brown sugar, I use a little less to keep some tartness. The Grand Marnier, brown sugar and honey all add layers of flavor to this sauce. This is a very easy yet exciting addition to your holiday dinner table, picnic, or turkey club sandwich. —bill
