I love combining brown sugar with cranberries. The only difference between this recipe and my recipe is that I don't cook it. YUM! I will keep this in mind though.

I love the brown sugar in this! We did a variety of cranberry sauce recipes in preparation for Thanksgiving and this was one of our selections. It really mellowed the tartness of the cranberries and gave it a whole new depth. I can imagine that we will be adding brown sugar to most of our cranberry sauces from now on. Thanks so much for posting!
