2 c. fresh cranberries
1 c. sugar
2 heads butter or Boston lettuce

Freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread cranberries in shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover dish tightly with foil. Bake 1 hour, stirring occasionally. They will shrivel and appear soft. Cool, refrigerate up to 2 days. Wash lettuce. Tear in bite-size pieces.

To serve, toss lettuce with oranges and Poppy Seed Dressing. Divide among salad plates. Sprinkle with cranberries.
