Cranberry Love

I made an impulse buy at the grocery store the other day - fresh cranberries.  I love cranberries but have never really done anything with the fresh kind.  So I went to one of my favorite recipe sites, http://www.food.com/ to find some yummy cranberry recipes.

I first made cranberry chocolate scones - my first ever attempt at scones - and they were delicious!  Then I made sugared cranberries - another YUM!  I love the way they "pop" when you bite into them, and the sweet-tart combination is great.  Bonus - they are so pretty!  :)

The only bad things....1)  the recipe called for superfine sugar to roll the cranberries in, which I didn't find, so I used regular granulated sugar.  As you can kind of see in the picture, the sugar got a little clumpy.  2)  Evidently no one else in my family is a big fan of cranberries....but at least that leaves more for me :)
