Cranberry Sauce Recipe Round-Up: Pumpkin Spice, plus Savory, Jiggly & Barbie's too...

I thought it would be fun to try a new Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Sauce (hello three ingredients!). This is a very simple recipe, cranberries, sugar and pumpkin spice, add in about 15 minutes of cooking time and wa-la, we have a nicely spiced holiday favorite. There is a lot of wiggle room here folks, want it sweeter? Add more sugar. Want more punch from the spices? Stir in more at the end. Want to add a little something extra? I'm thinking stirring in some chopped pecans before serving would be nice. Cook this a day or two ahead, it will thicken as it chills in the refrigerator. 

Plan on approximately 1 C sauce from each 1 C whole cranberries.

Looking for a few other ideas?

So I wanted to come up with an easy cranberry platter for Barbie, and I think I found it.
