We had some homemade cranberry sauce at some friends' house a few nights ago, and I wanted to try my hand at making some of my own. I saw this recipe, and it looked like a winner. The only thing I did differently (by accident) was to add the bourbon at the beginning, and let it cook with the cranberries. I served this at room temperature and it was really good. Tangy and definitely bourbon-y...we really liked it!
