Shrimp BarbequeWatch out! There is alot of butter in this dish - but life is an adventure and we have to occasionally take some risks!

Cranberries with Jezebel SauceIf you don't care for the tart tang of cranberries - try this. My dear friend, Gail, serves this dish her way frequently and everyone likes it because it is sweet & spicy and just tangy enough. A great condiment. I've modified Gail's recipe a tad and share it with you. Cranberries will no longer be a Thanksgiving side dish. This… |
