While I definitely think the possibilities are endless for cranberry butter--for brunch and beyond--waffles were probably the first thing that came to mind for me.
These waffles play off the orange flavor in the cranberries that speckle the butter, and they get a warming spicy boost from a bit of ground ginger in the batter.
It had been a while since we busted out the waffle maker around here, so the monsters were pretty jazzed to try the results.
Normally they're waiting, faces pressed up against the back door, while I shoot my recipes, ready to pounce as soon as the session wraps up. This time the littlest one just couldn't wait.
I decided to reshoot the waffles the next day, and this time some of his big brothers wanted in on the action.
With all these hams to go with my waffles, I've got myself the makings of a good brunch for sure!
Of course you could serve these waffles with any of your favorite toppings, but the cranberry butter really makes them sing. Fa la la la laaaaa!
