Those sugared cranberries look and sound amazing for Thanksgiving and Halloween! I have so many favorite recipes but am always looking for new ones to try!
Loving this idea of having a contest for recipes because honestly? I am so at a loss when it comes to baking or even cooking great recipe options. I tend to do the same options all of the time and every year, this has inspired me to try something different 😉
I have bookmarked this so I can return and enter! Great giveaway! Thanks for hosting.
Cant wait to check a bunch of these out! They look amazing and now Im starving!
I just bought some organic cranberries at Whole Foods, and I’ve been wondering what to do with them. I love your idea. Now I just have to come up with my own recipe!
Sugared cranberries are something I’ve never heard of. I will have to try these out and see if they are Qualls’ family worthy.
We are certainly getting some gorgeous recipes. Its great I know exactly where to go for this years holiday recipes.
I love new recipes to try and this is new to me! These look so yummy and the Cranberry Syrup would be amazing on Pancakes or in cocktails!
Ooh, yeah… a yummy Cranberry Cocktail! 🙂 Enjoy.
So many delicious entries already! Is this giveaway open worldwide? I’m in Canada and would love to enter!
Absolutely, Marielle! PayPal goes to Canada! 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you enter. 🙂
This is the year I do sugared cranberries! I love how they look on a fluffy white cake (or cupcakes) and swear I am going to make them every year.
So many excellent recipes have entered! Wow, great idea for a contest. Good luck to everyone who enters! #HomeMattersParty
