Featured Recipe: Cranberry Sauce with Port and Figs
There’s a three-pound (!) bag of cranberries in my refrigerator right this minute, just waiting to jump into the pot! I adore fresh cranberry sauce, and I’ve been experimenting with it for years. 
I’ve made both raw cranberry relishes and cooked sauces featuring unexpected ingredients like sour cream, dried cherries and even jalapenos.
I’m such a cranberry enthusiast that most of my friends have come to expect my little red jars showing up on their doorsteps this time of year. There’s only so much cranberry sauce that one family can absorb!
I just counted and there are more than a dozen recipes for cranberry sauce in my “holiday” file. But in all the years, this recipe – Cranberry Sauce with Port and Figs from the November 2001 issue of Bon Appetit -- is probably my favorite. It’s quick and easy to make and never fails to earn a place at my Thanksgiving table. Try it and let me know what you think.
So do you make your own cranberry sauce, too? What’s your favorite recipe?

What you're saying..
I just wanted to thank you for "Desperation Dinners". I'm a wife and mom of two little girls, who is also a civil engineer who decided to attend nursing school. My crazy schedule leaves me little time to cook. Now I can prepare yummy meals for my family every night in less time than it takes for pizza to be delivered!
Thank you so much!!
