Cranberry Corn Bread

[heart_this] · Dec 26, 2008 · 30 Comments

Cranberry Corn Bread

I wanted to do a cornbread stuffing with my Texmex themed holiday turkey dinner and that meant that I would need some corn bread. Since I was making the corn bread anyways I could not resist playing around a little and I added some cranberries. Corn bread is a quick bread that is made with cornmeal and it is really easy to make. This corn bread came together quickly and easily. I could not resist having a piece just as soon as it came out of the oven. I topped it with some butter that quickly melted into the cornbread and a drizzle of honey and it was amazing! The tart cranberries went really well with the slightly sweet cornbread and the honey on top. The butter of course added a nice savoriness. With only one slice missing I now had my corn bread for the corn bread stuffing.
I used the leftovers to make corn bread stuffing with chorizo .

    That looks delicious, Kevs. I made cornbread the other day to go with my spicy chili. I like to put frozen corn in my cornbread, for moistness, but this cran version is great.

    I am such a cornbread fan — sweet, savoury, dense, airy, with corn kernels inside or without, it doesn’t matter — but this, with cranberries, just may be the best looking cornbread EVER. I am a huuuuge cranberry lover. What a great idea — yum!

    Well, I have had jalapeno corn bread, cheddar corn bread and green onion corn bread. Leave it to you to be creative. This would be good fried in a little butter and maybe some marmalade on top.
