Holiday Asparagus image

This is a great side dish with wonderful flavor and great color! This is always the first dish on the table that gets eaten up and disappears, with our dinner guests who only had one helping, begging for more. Because of the cranberries and the visual presentation, it's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas or any dinner party occasion. Enjoy!
