I haven't made it yet, but I'm thinking I want to add some Orange Zest.

Wow, the perfect combination of sweet and tangy and so easy to make!

So good! I had no butter, so subbed margarine. I increased and spiced the sugar that goes over the berries, scant three quarter cup sugar, teaspoon cinnamon, half teaspoon ginger, sixteen teaspoon cloves. I also used frozen berries. Baked about sixty five minutes. Next time I'm adding shredded orange peel.

Served this for DH's birthday, when family was over. This recipe could not have been easier or faster to make and the presentation was nice. My family said they liked it, but no one asked for the recipe, raved about it, or had seconds. My mother said she thought it could have been a tiny bit sweeter.

Was looking for something easy to bake on a lazy Sunday afternoon & also had a craving for a dessert with cranberries.Ran across this recipe that perfectly fit the bill.I used fresh cranberries that I had frozen. I did not thaw them first & I do not think the result was affected in any way.Also sprinkled a good amount of turbinado sugar on top.Came out wonderfully! Thanks for a tasty dessert that required very little labor!
