Okay, I just saw this picture on your food page and fell in love. Wow. Love. I must try these. I deserve them. ;) They're beautiful and I love the cranberries, nuts and almond extract.

I flagged your picture as beautiful and shall come running back with a high 5 when I have eaten half the pan (or more) of these babies.

Great post, Melinda - thanks so much!

Mmmmmmmm... I have some Nova Scotia cranberries, in the freezer waiting for just the right recipe, and this sounds like the one! Cranberries are right up there with anything lemon or rhubarb. Guess I like things tangy/tart. Thank you for the post.

After thinking about this recipe for a while, I think some orange zest would be a great addition to this recipe. I love cranberry/orange/pecan relish so adding orange zest to this recipe wouldn't be much of a leap for me. It just sounds natural.
