Scarborough Fair Cranberry Sauce

This recipe for a savory sauce is inspired by an old English folk song that was popularized by Simon & Garfunkel. The sauce is versatile and can be used in a variety of ways, such as a glaze for your turkey, mixed with butter for the turkey, or just served as an alternative to the sweet stuff. While the recipe calls for parsley, it isn’t necessary and doesn’t add much to the flavor profile. However, it is included in the recipe for the name to work right.
