    About Cranberries

    So, if you're not so familiar with cranberries, when baked they taste a lot like tart cherries.  If using fresh cranberries in other baking recipes, just replace them for blueberries, cherries or peaches in your favorite recipes.  Their rich, dark red color is guaranteed to liven up the aesthetics of any dish.

    Holiday Cranberry White Chocolate Blondies

    Cranberries also provide antioxidants, stroke, and cardiovascular disease prevention, and are a great source of fiber, manganese, vitamin C, and vitamin E.  Cranberries are also credited with helping fight and/or prevent urinary tract infections, gum disease and ulcers.

    Make sure you rinse your firm cranberries under cool water right before you’re ready to eat them or use them.  Shriveled berries or those with discoloration should be avoided.

    Store cranberries in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two months. Cranberries withstand freezer storage very well, so if you have an abundance, this is a great option especially for the fall and winter seasons.

    Ingredients
      

    • ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
    • 1 cup brown sugar, packed , add an additional ¼ cup if you wish for more sweetness, but not necessary.
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 and ½ cups all purpose or gluten-free flour like Bob's Red Mill or something similar
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup white chocolate chips
    • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease or spray with non-stick cooking spray and line an 8x8 baking pan lining your pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and leaving some overhang. This will make it much easier to remove the blondies from the pan and easier clean-up too
    • In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter and sugar and whisk together just until combined.
    • Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Stir in flour and chocolate chips and incorporate. Fold in the fresh/ frozen cranberries.
    • Pour the batter in prepared pan and smooth out.
    • Transfer to oven and bake blondies for approximately 30 minutes or until golden on the edges and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave in pan to cool completely. Cut into squares to serve.
    • Will last up to one week when stored in an airtight container.
