Dessert for Christmas Day dinner. I thought that instead of a lemon curd tart, I would make a cranberry curd and it turned out lovely. Not too tart (no pun intended), and the candied cranberries are a super textural change. While this looks impressive, it’s actually really easy to make so give it a go!

Good morning. Just the CSPS Girl jumping in here with a little coffee cake recipe, in case you are looking for a quick baked-good that you can make the day before. Can be served at room temperature or warmed a bit, for breakfast or for afternoon tea, this Cranberry Orange Coffee Cake with Pecan Streusel is delicious. Don’t have fresh berries? Frozen will do just great in this recipe (keep the berries frozen when you put into the batter) and you can even swap out the cranberries for blueberries or raspberries. Enjoy!
Something other than cookie! It’s November, so I am in the middle of baking all my cookies for the annual Cookie Madness, but decided that I wanted to make something different this week to snack on. So I made Rice Krispies Squares. Only I added cinnamon and cinnamon chips. Ooh, and these have a trick for staying softer for longer: I added condensed milk. Great flavor. Nice snack.
My mom often asks me to make a “German” apple pie. Well, as the expression goes, that ain’t as easy as apple pie! Just like “American” apple pie has about a million variations, so does any other regional variation. What I think my mom means is this custard pie, which is one variation. It’s lovely. Not too sweet, creamy and lush. I used pink lady apples, which hold their shape and stay crisp throughout baking. Quite lovely.
