    Mmmmmmmm... I have some Nova Scotia cranberries, in the freezer waiting for just the right recipe, and this sounds like the one! Cranberries are right up there with anything lemon or rhubarb. Guess I like things tangy/tart. Thank you for the post.

    Okay, I just saw this picture on your food page and fell in love. Wow. Love. I must try these. I deserve them. ;) They're beautiful and I love the cranberries, nuts and almond extract.

    I flagged your picture as beautiful and shall come running back with a high 5 when I have eaten half the pan (or more) of these babies.

    Great post, Melinda - thanks so much!
