If you like a sweet-tart dessert, this is the one for you. The tartness of the cranberries is set off nicely by the cream cheese frosting. This recipe was on the bag of cranberries in my freezer that I thought needed to be used up. The package listed this website for additional cranberry recipes: http://www.twinlakecranberry.com. Take a peek for information about the company, products, (mostly cranberries!), health benefits, recipes, (family favorites!) and contacts and links. And you thought cranberries were just a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner!
