Sure thang!  The cranberry sauce recipe was one of those "made up as I
went along" things two thanksgivings ago, so here's approximately what I
did:

1 lb. cranberries
2 c. sugar
1 c. brandy
1 c. dried cherries
1/2-1 c. chopped walnuts
Boil until berries pop.  Skim, add walnuts, cool.

I remember thinking that the brandy flavor was too strong when I tasted
it initially, but it mellowed when it sat in the fridge for a day.  I
don't think I cut the brandy with orange juice, but I'm going to make
this well in advance this year just in case...
