"My mother has made this recipe for many years, and is a favorite with our family and friends at Christmas. It is a super make ahead because it freezes so well. You can also make the sauce ahead (refrigerate) and reheat in the microwave."

If it's cranberry, I want to try it, & this recipe is no exception! WHAT A GREAT PUDDING THIS IS! Fortunately for me my son & DIL enjoy desserts & cranberries, so we didn't have much in leftovers! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]

We really enjoyed this dessert and it was actually very easy to make. The only problem was waiting for them to bake. Next time I might lower the amount of sugar in the butter sauce. We love cranberries so I am quite sure I will be making this dish again. Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag, November, 2011.

Instead of muffins, I made it in an 8x8 pan. It was good but not sensational - - just a bit too light for my tastes to call it a pudding.
