    Jake's Notes: This is an extremely simple recipe but seems to be our favorite as we make it again and again despite trying others. The key is good cranberries, from a good source, which are plentiful here...

This looks delicious. Do you use it on anything else besides the usual suspects?

Not really, but honestly my favorite way to eat this is on a black pepper water cracker with a thin slice of Parmigiano-Reggiano. Otherwise, we use it in drinks, particularly with tonic or soda and vodka with Cointreau or Gran Gala around the holidays.
