Chef Patrick's Comment

As for me, I prefer this recipe made with white wine (10cl) of high quality sauternes, Pacherenc, late harvest Alsace or with cider vinegar as it brings back the original taste of wild berries delivered by the cranberries from our mountains. You can my Canadian friends replace the honey with maple syrup and you latinos with agave syrup and add pineapple squares or raspberries instead of cranberries by adding a little chili.
