I love combining the citrus with cranberries. I really love the sweet and tart combination of the two fruits. I have added these two flavors in the citrus cranberry muffins that I am sharing today.

I think that the cranberry season is way too short. I had cranberry scones on my to make listย last year after Christmas, but when I went to the store I was told that they were out of season. This year I decided that I was going to be prepared, so I bought an extra bag of fresh cranberries and threw them in the freezer. That way when I get the urge for cranberry scones, muffins, or whatever I will be prepared.ย

I like to make some kind of muffins, coffee cake, or scones each week. It makes for a quick breakfast for my son Adam. He has never been much of a breakfast person. So I like to have something that will tempt him to at least have something to start off the day.

This past weekend I decided on cranberries muffins since I had some in the freezer. I had picked up an orange and a lemon so that I could add some citrus into the mix of things. ย As I mentioned earlier I love the sweetness that the citrus and the tartness of the cranberries, the combination is wonderful.

I topped the muffins with a drizzle of icing that had a touch of cinnamon in it. Cinnamon is another thing that I like the taste of with cranberries and citrus.

Now who could resist one of these citrus cranberry muffins? I know my son Adam enjoyed them this week.

    Citrus and cranberry baked anything with a cup of pipping hot tea on a chilly afternoon is one of my favorite things. Lucky for me my grocery store carries froze cranberries, so I shouldn’t have difficulty finding everything I need for this delightful recipe!
