Christmas Dinner

I made this recipes that for Christmas dinner. I found it in Cooking Light magazine December 08 issue. I wanted to make Baked Cranberries with Rum, but I accidentally bought cherries instead of cranberries. I am really glad that I did. The cherries were sweeter than cranberries, which is always a plus in my book.

Baked Cranberries (cherries) with Rum

Combine 1 (12 oz) bag of fresh or frozen cranberries, 3/4 c. sugar(since the cherries are naturally sweeter than cranberries, I used 1/4 c. of sugar), 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg in a 8 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes; uncover and stir gently. bake , uncovered , an additional 15 minutes or until berries are tender and the sauce is syrupy. Remove from the oven; stir in 2 tbsp of rum. Cool to room temperature . Chill at least 1 hour before serving. I served the dish warm, it was delicious!
