Sherry, Sherry, quite contrary, how do your cranberries grow? Turns out, we don't care so much how they grow, but we care quite a bit how their tartness combines with sweet sherry for a simple, yet lush sauce. It matches with a juicy chicken breast quite well, as well as the roasted acorn squash dusted in rosemary and Parmesan. Sherry can be contrary; we're sure you'll join our consensus that this meal is delicious.
