Cranberries, that small berry of sauces, juice, and thousands of Christmas decorations, isn't often paired with weekday dinner. We're taking the dried version of those little suckers and making a delectable sauce, mixing the tart berry with sweet syrup. Paired with a seared bone-in pork chop and a melody of hearty root vegetables, this calorie-conscious, carb-conscious dish packs in the berry spirit without also packing in the pounds. Tip: Not turned-on to the turnip? Here's where to start: trim the ends so you have a flat surface to work with while peeling. Be sure to peel away from you.
