I first made the cranberry crostini for a Friendsgiving event a few years ago and got rave reviews. I now make the cranberry sauce whenever I see fresh cranberries in the store – it is so, so good. As suggested, I spoon a little in my yogurt every night for a delicious dessert and my husband puts it in his morning oatmeal. Now that I’ve just made a couple of batches, I’m going to try making a sourdough star bread with the cranberry sauce as the filling. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Making this for Thanksgiving this year! Is it possible to make this a “spicy” version too with Jalepeno’s?

This recipe was absolutely amazing! I added a dash of nutmeg and substituted brie in place of the goat cheese. We could not stop eating it–even my friend who claimed to not like cranberry sauce. Will make this every year at Thanksgiving time.

In reply to Meredith. Sure! Just make sure it's sturdy. If you assemble at the party that should be fine. I hope they all enjoy it!

Hi Kate!

I’m hoping to make this for a Friendsgiving this weekend and was wondering what you think about assembling with a delicious cracker instead of bread? Also, I plan to cook the sauce and take it with me in a container to assemble at the party. Will it still hold the flavor?

In reply to Nanda Primidya. Hi Nanda, if you are using a digital format camera (not a full format camera), I would choose the 35mm. I use it for all of my food photos now.
