RED WINE CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH HONEY
What does a chef in Napa Valley do to jazz up her cranberry sauce? Add wine, of course. This recipe was inspired by Cindy Pawlcyn, the Napa Valley chef and cookbook author, and includes smashed fresh ginger for extra verve. It's more tart than most cranberry sauce recipes, so if you like yours sweeter, feel free to add more sugar or a little more honey.
