1/4 cup sliced cranberries or 1/2 cup whole cranberries sauce
2 tablespoons toasted pecans (see note)
Salt and pepper to taste

NOTE: To toast pecans, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
