Cranberry Crazy

I've been crazy for baking with cranberries this week. They're so intricately linked to Thanksgiving - this is the season they're available, and when you have a lot of fruit, you bake with it and share your bounty.

I love the "Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Pie-Pudding" I began making when our kids were young. I have no idea where I got it from, but have stuck with it all these years. I think of a blondie with a tart, juicy crush of cranberry. I like to serve it warm, with cream or ice cream.

I also needed to use up some 'offensively ripe' bananas. I'm not a big fan of banana bread, so searched for a recipe that I might be able to stomach - and lit upon this deliciously moist combo of Cranberry Banana Loaf. Yes! I don't mind eating that.

And then I discovered a recipe in passing that I just couldn't resist trying - Cranberry Walnut artisan bread (I've still got to remember that I learned not to leave cranberries on the outside of the dough). Despite the burned fruit on the outside - so good!

So here is my trifecta of cranberry treats
