I love doing things from "scratch. Cranberries are such a short season that I do freeze them for later use. I'm putting this on my to do list for the holidays. I too find it difficult to find a recipe that calls for fresh,not dried or canned. Just did your cranberry/orange muffins with pecan and sugar topping. Simmered the cranberries in oj and zest cooled then stirred into the batter. My people loved it.Our farmers market is huge in this area and some of the people over the border(Maine) have started growing cranberries. So now I'm fortunate enough to "know my farmer". Cranberry and orange are a natural, aren't they? Enjoy those yummy muffins! PJH
