Cranberry Sauce with Calvados and Molasses

The addition of the molasses and Calvados add a little something different to this staple that is on everyones Thanksgiving day table. Feel free to be liberal with the black pepper. It plays off nicely with the flavor of the cinnamon and the tartness of the cranberries.
