WINNING CRANBERRY CHEESECAKE
The holidays wouldn't be complete without cranberries and eggnog. I use them both in this flavorful cheesecake that's the perfect finale for a special dinner. Set it out at the start of the meal, not just to solicit "oohs" and "aahs," but to remind folks to save room for dessert! -Nancy Zimmerman, Cape May Court House, New Jersey
