What can I make with cranberries and oranges?

Lovely combination, and can be used together in so many ways! Hopefully you will find something here that suits your taste, but I wanted to share that you cannot go wrong with serving the pancakes with the cranberry syrup (though they taste great with all types of syrup), and I realize that the syrup recipe is missing the 'orange' element you requested. Anyway, hope this helps ;)

CRANBERRY ORANGE PANCAKES

1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2-3 teaspoons orange zest, finely minced

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup orange juice

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

In a small bowl, mix cranberries, sugar & zest & set aside. In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt. In another small bowl, mix egg, buttermilk, OJ & butter, then add this mixture to flour mixture, stirring until just combined [batter should be lumpy]. Fold cranberry mixture into the other mixed ingredients. Heat a lightly greastd griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook pancakes until golden brown, then turn to cook other side. Serve hot! ~ Serves: 5

CRANBERRY SYRUP

2 1/2 cups cranberry juice

1 cup cranberries

3/4 cup light corn syrup

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)

In medium saucepan, mix all ingredients, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Over medium-high heat, bring to rolling boil, then reduce heat to medium & boil 30-40 minutes or until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE BERRIES IN THE SYRUP (I prefer leaving them in!), pour syrup through mesh strainer & discard cranberries! Store syrup covered in glass container in refrigerator no longer than 7 days.

What I love to do is make a healthy delicious salad. I get some fresh greens, I like bitter herbs myself, and mix the cranberries and oranges with a citrius dressing. Its really good, good for you, and very fresh and light.

Cranberry-orange relish. Maybe add some apples too.

You can make a cool, tangy apple-lemon mix.

Take the apple, slice it into 4 parts, no skin, (obviously the pit is out), then blend it in your blender. After that add a cup of lemon to it, and you have yourself a nice tangy apple drink. Enjoy it. ;)

You can make a fruit salad or a smoothie.
