Cranberry Mandarin Sauce
This bright red sauce, studded with jewels of orange, looks beautiful in a bowl or on a plate. It's also deceptively simple and requires only rudimentary orange-peeling skills. Buy the smallest mandarines you can find, for petite, bite-sized bursts of orange. A little maple syrup is all you need to sweeten the sauce.
Serve with roasted meats, atop sweet potatoes, or even over ice cream!
