Wow, you can get hungry just by looking at that – really looks extremely tasty. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us!
Thanks Carla! It was fun and tasty to develop š
This maybe a silly ? but are the cranberries the fresh ones you buy in produce and then you freeze them before cooking??
Hi Cindy! I buy mine already frozen. Iām sure fresh cranberries would work too ????
Excellent! The fresh/frozen cranberries add just the right amount of tartness!
Hi Deb! SO glad you enjoyed š
For the bacon – is this precooked bacon or do you toss the raw in?
Raw, it will cook in the oven!
