cranberries

Have you seen fresh cranberries before? On the outside they're smooth and round, but on the inside, they look like four-leaf clovers. I had a bunch of cranberries leftover from Thanksgiving, so I made a cranberry upside-down coffee cake from this recipe. I brought this to a house-warming party, and the combination of cranberries, pecans, brown sugar, and spices baked together was a perfect contrast to the cold weather outside. Next time you have fresh or dried cranberries, give this a try!
