I made a cranberry sauce very similar to this recipe for a 13-course dinner a couple of years ago and it was fabulous.  Yep - you read that right: 13 courses!  I used it as a palate cleanser between the cornish hens and... something else!  

What a night that was.  I used every last piece of Haviland china I own, and that's saying something.  Most of it belonged to my G-G-Grandmother and it was always meant to be used, so I used it.  I think she would have approved.  :-)

That is so nice to know .. never thought about it being a palate cleanser!  

WoWWW  .. 13 courses .. bet that was absolutely fabulous!!!  Sure your G-G-Grandmother would be proud you chose to honor her and her china in such a special and enchanted evening ...

Best wishes .. :)
