I found this recipe in the 2019 Taste of Home Christmas. I have been getting Taste of Home for almost 20 years. I have found some great recipes over the years. Cranberry orange is one of my favorite flavor combinations. I cannot wait to make this.
1/3 C. sugar
1/3 C. canola oil
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 tbsp. grated orange zest
1 tbsp. orange juice
1/3 C. all purpose flour
1/3 C. cream of wheat or farina flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/3 C. dried cranberries, chopped
1/4 C. sliced almonds
Orange glaze
3/4 C. confectioners sugar
1 tbsp. orange juice
2 tsp. 2% milk
Grated orange zest, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 inch round baking pan.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs, orange zest and juice until well blended. In another bowl, whisk the flour, cream of wheat, salt, and baking powder; gradually beat into oil mixture. Stir in dried chopped cranberries.
Transfer to prepared pan; sprinkle with almonds. Bake until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
Combine the glaze ingredients; pour over warm cake. Cool for 10 minute s before serving.

Apricot-Apple Cider
This recipe is meant to be served warm but I may try chilling it and serving it with some Tito’s Handmade vodka.
8 C. unsweetened apple juice
1 12oz. ginger ale
1/2 C. dried apricots, halved
1/2 C. dried cranberries
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tbsp. whole allspice
1 tbsp. whole cloves
Additional cinnamon sticks and fresh cranberries, optional
In a 5 quart slow cooker, combine apple juice and ginger ale. Place the apricots, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, allspice, and cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up the corners of the cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Place in slow cooker; cover. Cook on high for 3-4 hours. Discard spice bag. Garnish individual servings with cinnamon sticks and cranberries if desired.

Balsamic Bruschetta
I made this for our Labor Day BBQ today. I used white balsamic vinegar, shredded Asiago cheese and I let the mixture chill for 4 hours before serving. I also toasted thinly sliced French bread in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes after brushing it with a mixture of olive oil, granulated garlic and pepper. It was a huge hit!
- 8 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf French bread, toasted and sliced
- In a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, basil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Serve on toasted bread slices.
