Recently I saw the recipe for Cranberry-Hazelnut Coffeecake on Pinterest.  The original recipe is from MyRecipes.com.  The coffeecake looked so pretty, and I do love cranberries, so I pinned it to my board “Want to Try”.  The fact that the recipe called for fresh cranberries, and they were not sweetened was appealing.  I love a […]
