Recipe of the Month – November: Cranberry Crisp

Let’s be honest, next to green bean casserole, cranberry sauce is the least desirable dish on the holiday table. I suspect that’s because it’s so plain. Well, I found a recipe that might spruce up the trimmings, thanks to the good people over at Gimme Some Oven and their recipe for Cranberry Crisp.

INGREDIENTS

CRANBERRY FILLING INGREDIENTS:

• 24 ounces (about 6 cups) fresh cranberries
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• zest of one orange

CRISPY OATMEAL TOPPING INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
