Cranberry Horseradish Sauce

Name: Cranberry Horseradish Sauce
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: Makes about 2 cups

Cranberries mixed with sugar and citrus are perfectly fine for turkey, but pork needs something a little different. Here, the tart quality of the cranberries is underlined by the horseradish, and together they enhance the sweet, sturdy nature of roast pork.
