I decided to make this right before Thanksgiving to see if I wanted to switch-up the Thanksgiving menu this year. This recipe was delicious, but it’s hard for me to change tradition (my mom’s scratch cranberry walnut stuffing is a Thanksgiving staple). But if you are eager to change tradition a little, this is a great recipe that will please the family. The spicy venison protein makes it hearty, and it meshes magnificently with the tart fruit. A great side for any large dinner, or it can be served alone.
