Ingredients
  • 6 Tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 Cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 Cup firmly packed brown sugar

  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 Cups flour
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 Cup buttermilk

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberries and the brown sugar.
  4. Scatter the mixture atop the butter.
  5. Sprinkle on the pecans.
  6. Beat the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the sugar at medium speed in a medium mixing bowl until well blended.

  8. Combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl and stir well.
  9. Beat a third of the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, followed by half of the buttermilk.

Love the cranberries in replacement of pineapple even though I'm a pineapple lover. Thanks
