POT ROAST WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE
My friends rave about the different taste the cranberry sauce gives to this roast, and I couldn't agree more. I've made the sauce ahead of time and frozen it, which saves preparation time on a busy schedule.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the sugar and water in a large saucepan; stir well. Bring to a boil over medium heat (do not stir); boil, uncovered for 5 minutes.
- 2. Stir in the cranberries. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the cranberry skins pop. Remove from the heat; stir in apricot preserves and the lemon juice.
- 3. Cover and chill until cool. Stir in the almonds just before serving. Serve over pound cake, ice cream, cooked turkey or pork.
Tips:
- For a sweeter sauce, use more dried cranberries. For a tarter sauce, use fewer cranberries.
- If you don't have almond extract, you can use vanilla extract or omit it entirely.
