Cranberry week
This week I’m joining in with a great bunch of bloggers to bring you Cranberry Week! A week of cranberry-inspired recipes! All week long, from November 21st through November 25, 2016.
We will be using fresh cranberries, dried ones, cranberry sauce, cranberry juice… cranberries, in all their forms. And, I have to tell you, these are some pretty creative recipes for cranberries! All are guaranteed to be fun and creative!
Holiday side dish
My first recipe for this week is the homey and delicious Cornbread. This is full of flavor, and smells amazing while it bakes. Perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas dinner, or any other fun family event.
I also really like the pretty colors that this Cranberry Rosemary Cornbread has. As the cranberries bake, they split open just a bit to create those deep red pockets of jammy looking goodness. After you pour the batter in the pan, just take a second to make sure the cranberries are fairly evenly distributed around the pan. When I poured my batter into the pan, the berries all ended up at one side, so it’ll help with that pretty presentation to distribute them.
Later in the week
I’ll have another cranberry recipe for you after Thanksgiving. A dessert recipe! Nom nom Until then, happy cooking, and happy holidays to you and yours!

This looks like the perfect addition to night before Thanksgiving Chili.
Go Hawks!
Mary! Happy Thanksgiving to you! That’s a really fun idea! Or, great for leftover turkey chili on Friday! Go Hawks! 🙂
That is a very festive looking side for the holiday table.
Love the cranberry and rosemary additions. Thanks for joining in the #CranberryWeek fun!
love the rosemary, makes this so sophisticated yet earthy!
Rosemary sounds so good in here!
What a beautiful cornbread. It’s perfect for the holidays or anytime. I love cornbread with soup and this would be great with any of them!
Mmmmm. I love the addition of the rosemary! It brings it back to a savory flavor.
Could dried cranberries be used instead of fresh?
Bonnie, yes, dried cranberries can be used in cornbread. It changes the recipe, but they can be used.
