Crazy about Cranberries!

By Geraldine on December 8, 2013 | 1 Comment

***When I think about Christmas foods, cranberries are close to the top of my favs for this festive time of year. ***

Hope you enjoy this reblog that features a yummy alternative for traditional fruitcake.

A beautiful loaf, brimming with the flavours of cranberries and Mandarin oranges.

Happy Baking and Week! :<)

VEGGIES, YARNS & TAILS

I really do love cranberries! And for so many reasons. 😉

Their unique taste,beautiful deep red color, nutritional value, even their shiny, glossy texture! The interesting way they are grown and harvested.

And of course, their special significance at Christmas and all the memories that enjoying cranberries over the years, conjures up. 🙂

My blog-bud Caroline Brown over at Earth Friendly Gardeninghas graciously agreed to do a co-post (new blog word???LOL) on cranberries.

I’m providing a cranberry loaf recipe (see end of this post)and Caroline shares her wisdom on this fall fav. fruit in this archive post from:

I just LOVE cranberries!

The gorgeous red color, their tart, unique flavor, the memories they bring to mind from holidays past.

Here’s a link to one of my favorite cranberry muffin recipes:

Cranberry Wheatgerm Muffins.

And here’s another pic that brings Christmas holidays and childhood snow days to mind:

Happy Baking and I do hope you are also enjoying a winter wonderland, where you are!

For the Love of Loaves

I’m not much of a dessert fan but I do enjoy fruit and nut loaves.

These are a couple of my all time favs. One from my cookbook, Not Just for Vegetarians: Cranberry Mandarin Orange Loaf and one from Martha Stewart for one of the best Banana Breads I’ve ever tasted.
