Recipe

Sparkling Cranberries
2 cups cranberries
2 cups water
2 cups sugar

Directions
Make a simple syrup by bringing the water and sugar just to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Let the syrup cool for a few minutes and then add cranberries. Be mindful of temperature, as the berries will burst if the syrup is too hot. Cover and refrigerate overnight.The next day, drain the cranberries and toss them with sugar until they are well coated. Do this in small batches, preventing the sugar from getting too damp. Place the coated cranberries on a parchment lined baking sheet to dry for a few hours.If necessary, do another toss in the sugar once cranberries have dried.

Bundt Cake
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup grated orange zest
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 ½ inch bundt pans.

Cream the butter and cane sugar manually or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Manually, or with the mixer on medium speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add orange zest.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the orange juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
