I love cranberries. I have always loved them. When I was a kid, it was my job to make the cranberry sauce, and I loved to do it because I got to "taste" along the way. My mom was always warning me not to 'taste" it all.To this day I eat cranberry sauce with a spoon. When I taught in India, I always made sure I had some dried cranberries packed in my suitcase from home.
So as soon as cranberries hit the stores in November, I stock up. Each time I shop I make sure to throw a couple bags of cranberries in my cart. Many recipes indicate that stores will have cranberries in the freezer isle, but I can never find them in my area. I can't understand why stores don't carry them all year. Unlike most people. I like my cranberries all year long. I have been known to eat a can of cranberry sauce in July. Lucky for me they freeze well. I just throw the whole bag in the freezer for later.
My love of Cranberries combined with my love of baking has led me to find several cranberry recipes I would like to try. Because of the new addition to the family, (more on that later, I have to rewrite the post due to a saving problem) I have only been able to make one of these recipes, but I hope to make many more. I might even make one this week.

Don't be fooled, this quick bread does not rise much. When I saw how full my loaf pan was from the batter I thought maybe it was a double loaf, then had two very short loafs instead.
I love that this cake has LOTS of cranberries.

Cranberry Bread Pudding

I would like to make bread pudding for my husband, because after nine years with me, he does sometimes dunk a cookie in his tea. Unfortunately, this is not the one. Hubby does not like cranberries.
This cranberry bread pudding would be fun Christmas morning, or any morning for that matter. :)

My taste for cranberry deserts and drinks has matured, but my appetite for cranberries has not. As the cold February wears on there is nothing I want more than some nice bright cranberries in my diet.
What childhood foods do you still love (if in new ways)?
Your recipe is the greatest. I love to enjoy reading and learning new things. Thanks for share and keep it up.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I have never had cranberries? Maybe I will just have to try one of the recipes and find I like them. LOL
