Am allergic to nuts–what, if anything, do you suggest as a replacement for walnuts? Thank you
How about sunflower or pumpkin seeds? You could really leave the nuts out completely,I think.
A good standby would be dried raisins.
Do you chop or cook the cranberries or leave whole?
Don’t cook the. Cranberries or chop them. We have a family recipe handed down for over 109 years that is delish and slightly different b
Looks good but needs TWICE the amount of butter and eggs, and HALF the amount of juice.
I agree with twice the eggs & butter, 1/2 the juice… then it looks like my recipe. : )
I copied the recipe WITH your suggestions, plus I’m reducing the sugar.
I’ve been making this recipe for years and years and it’s perfect just the way it is!
This is a recipe that I’ve been making for several years and it is absolutely delicious.
Allergic to nuts? How about raisins or dried fruit.
How can I substitute frozen cranberries for fresh? Do I defrost them or just use them frozen?
It’s easier to cut in half when frozen. Let thaw and use in recipe. I’ve made this same recipe for years and it is a WINNER!
I’m allergic to egg whites. what would be a good substitute
You can make a flax egg. Recipe here: https://minimalistbaker.com/how-to-make-a-flax-egg/
Reconstitute dried cranberries in warm water if no fresh.
Only 2 tablespoons of butter? Is that correct? Kind of afraid to try the recipe as written.
Looks great. Will try this????
Can I make this recipie using an 8×8 pan? Any changes needed?
