Cranberries are one of my favotite foods and their tartness blends well with sweet oranges. This is a family favorite and is especially looked forward to at Christmas or Thanksgiving. I often buy extra cranberries and store them in the freezer so I can make this year round. You can also make these into muffins, just adjust the baking time.
