For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur or a teaspoon of vanilla extract. To toast the nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning. If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the cranberries in a food processor a few times instead of chopping them by hand. Feel free to substitute other nuts like almonds or pecans based on your preference. This fluff can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

Apr 14, 2025I found it a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup and it was perfect.
