Cranberries! We can't get enough of them this time of year. Their bright tartness is a mood-lifter all winter too. Here are a dozen recipes that will show off fresh cranberries at Christmas and beyond. - Cranberry Cake This can be topped with kirsch-spiked whipped cream, or baked with a topping of sugared pecans.
- Fresh Cranberry Scones A fresh twist on cranberry scones. This recipe calls for fresh chopped cranberries instead of dried.
- Baked Goat Milk Brie with Cranberry Sauce A good way to use up leftover cranberry sauce. Try it with Trader Joe's giant wheel of Brie.
- DIY Cranberry Sauce A basic recipe for homemade cranberry sauce.
- Cranberry Sauce with Port and Dried Figs A very different sort of cranberry sauce, suitable for serving all winter long -- great with pork.
- DIY Cranberry Jam If you keep cooking that sauce down you'll eventually get jam -- very good on almost anything! Try with goat cheese and crackers, too.
- Cranberry Hungarian Pastry You can also use that jam in these pretty, delicate pastry bars.
- Apple Cranberry Galette with Stonewall Kitchen Apple Caramel Butter An easy, lovely winter dessert from our Best Pie Bakeoff.
- Butternut Squash "Winter" Rolls with Spicy Cranberry Sauce A seasonal version of spring rolls, using cranberries in a savory role.
- Bittersweet Chocolate Cranberry Shortbread A buttery treat from our Bittersweet Baking Contest.
- Cranberry and Dark Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream A winter ice cream!
- Fresh Cranberry Relish One more relish for the winter table; this one doesn't need to be cooked at all.

I made the baked goat milk brie at Thanksgiving (with an improvised cranberry-apple chutney on top instead of the sauce) and it was a big success.

I'm spending Xmas this year at a Chinese friend's house. She is going to get a kick out of the "winter" rolls. Can't wait!

I'm looking for something I can drop in the mail, rather than have to box up and take to the long lines at the post office. Maybe some extra cash, folded in different shapes using origami, or a lottery ticket, which could end up being a million dollar gift for my brother. Or maybe a gift certificate to a local mall, good at all the stores, which includes the movie theater and food court. I could get a little bigger envelope and give a gift certificate to a video rental store tied to a box of popcorn. Or I could get my ice cream loving sister a gift certificate to a place like Baskin Robbins or Cold Stone attached to an ice cream scoop. My friends might like this lip smacking cranberries. For more money saving gift ideas, read the linked article.
No matter what I get, I can get a payday loan and provide Christmas gifts for my family, then pay off the loan in January, my children will be smiling Thursday.
