Sweet-scented cranberry sauce

I found a recipe which tried to be interesting with the addition of a sweet yellow apple and raisins to the cranberries. The idea was to raise the sweetness of the sauce. I thought this did not bring out a result too different from just cranberries and sugar, so decided to: 1) make the additions the same golden color (swapping white-grape raisins for the regular dark ones) and 2) kick up the fragrance factor (for which, to my mind, there is no better substitute than a well ripened quince). The sugar and cinnamon pair well with the new version too. I can eat this sauce on its own as a dessert (especially mixed with my home-made yogurt), not just as an accompaniment to meat!
