Leftover cranberry sauce? Not usually at our house! We make our own, and it is GOO-OOD! But this year I saved out a cup of cranberry sauce because this idea came to me upon noticing a couple of apples that needing to be consumed. I used whole-berry cranberry sauce, but feel free to try this with the jellied type, also. Enjoy it on French toast, waffles, ice cream, or Pumpkin Pound Cake.
