Last week I got in a bit of a festive mood and bought a bag of fresh cranberries. Why? Pinterest, of course.
Check out the recipe link below for a wonderful recipe for a seasonal simmer pot filled with cinnamon, oranges (I used tangerines), nutmeg, and cloves. Molly enjoyed dumping everything in the pot, and I've enjoyed the wonderful smells filling my downstairs. You just keep it on the stove, and turn on low when you want to add some fragrance to your home. It will last for several weeks. You just add more water when necessary.
We found ourselves with some extra fresh cranberries, which we sure couldn't let go to waste. So, I found this delicious recipe on allrecipes.com.
It's truly good, especially if you like the tartness of cranberries mixed with a sweet bread. I will likely make this bread as a Thanksgiving "happy" for teachers.

"Orange juice and zest really emphasize the fruity quality of this cranberry-nut bread."

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup orange juice
