We received hundreds of interesting entries for our holiday side dish recipe contest. Our grand
prize–winning recipe—sent in by Sharon Phillips of Pembroke, Mass.—is a fresh take on

cranberries add concentrated tartness.

If you can find only fennel bulbs with the fronds attached, they can be chopped and
added to the roasted vegetables.
