What a great recipe! I have never thought of baking a cranberry! I imagine the flavor is very intense....of course, the booze doesn't hurt! I will make this... I love condiments!
I always make my own cranberry sauce now. it is soooo easy and soooo good. Many different versions out there. I have always done mine on the stove top. I will have to try your baking method.
