Crazy for Cranberries
I have to say, one of the many great things about living in New England is the access to their fabulous cranberries in the fall. I LOVE cranberries, and I've embarked on a cranberry-baking adventure these past two months (more cranberry posts to follow). My parents flew out to Boston to visit us over my birthday weekend at the end of October, and I wanted to have a simple yet tasty breakfast treat for them. I couldn't wait to try this recipe and plow through one of the four bags of cranberries I picked up at the grocery store. One thing about this recipe; the original poster on All Recipes clearly had a case of "not double checking after posting the recipe online." If you click on the link, you will see what I mean. She repeats her steps twice....just bake with caution. You won't be disappointed!
