Ever since Tom mentioned that he was going to make a real effort to eat vegetables, I've been determined to make him try as many things as possible that he would never eat before. Cranberry sauce is one of them. I figured if I added enough sugar, he'd definitely eat it and I was right!

I really love cranberry sauce and now that I know Tom will eat it too, I will definitely make this recipe and others a lot more often. I served this with roasted red potatoes in garlic sauce and green bean casserole.
