I just tried this today and it's worth sharing:
Cranberries
boil 2 cups of water.
when it starts to boil, turn off the heat and steep a bag of green tea in it for four minutes.
remove the tea bag, add 3/4 cups of sugar and 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder, (McCormicks makes it, it'll be in the spice section of your grocery). Stir until the sugar and spices dissolve. Bring the water back to a boil and add 1 bag of cranberries. cook until the cranberries pop. If it's still watery, dissolve some corn starch in a small amount of cold water and add to the cranberries. Cook until the cranberry mixture thickens. Serve at any temperature.

I love traditional cranberry sauce, and mever saw a need for improvement, but this was really great.
