Could you make this using jellied cranberry sauce???? My husband has a condition called Gastroparesis, and as a result he cannot have whole cranberries (it's the skins that are a problem.)
ReplyDeleteHi Lora, yes, in fact the original recipe called for jellied sauce. I used whole berry cause that's what I had on hand and what I prefer. But use jellied! I hope you'll make this and enjoy it.
