Cranberries are one of the quintessential signs of the holidays, and they can be served in cranberry sauce as well as dozens of different cakes, pies, and desserts. The following Cranberry Orange Cobbler has been adapted from a recipe found on a cooking blog, and it is a delicious dessert that can be served warm or cold. You can top it with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream. The cranberry filling is sweet, with just enough tartness to emphasize the flavor of the cranberries. Orange peel and pulp round out the flavor, and you’ll find yourself making it during the holidays for guests and family.

Cranberry lovers will appreciate this great dessert, and those who aren’t fans may like this too.
