Thanksgiving Cupcakes with Cranberries




I think these cupcakes Thanksgiving cupcakes using the chocolate cupcake recipe and cranberry sauce will be enjoyed by everyone even those who do not usually have a sweet tooth. This adult type of combination is like sweet and sour.
I take fresh cranberries, wash, clean and them stew on a low to medium heat in a pan. I let the cranberries cook adding very small drops of water if the cranberries become dry. I add sugar to taste and at the end of cooking either some red wine or Port. Let the sauce cool. You can make this sauce before and it stores well in the freezer.
I make a batch of chocolate cupcakes and let them cool.
I cut the top off each cupcake and fill with a teaspoon of Port spooned over the sponge and then topped with a tablespoon of cranberry sauce. I replace the lid and cover with a generous helping of Lemon Butter cream. I make this with equal quantities of unsalted butter and icing sugar(confectioners) sugar. I also added some fresh lemon juice to add a tangy flavour and adding to that sweet and sour combination.
I put some of the stewed cranberries on the top of the cupcakes.
This is a delicious combination of flavours. It could also be served with vanilla ice cream , fresh cream of natural yogurt.
Hope you enjoy this and thanks for reading
