Christmas Cranberry Fudge
"My grandma always made this at Christmas. Then my mom, and when I started baking, I also made this. It's easy and uses cranberry concentrate instead of the usual dried or fresh. It is now a family tradition with us and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do."

This is a great recipe! I followed the directions and then stirred in 1 cup of dried cranberries before pouring into tha pan. I will be making more of this to give away as gifts for the holidays. Thanks! -
After I poured this in my pan, I topped with an entire bag of dried cranberries as a sort of garnish. It is a very pretty treat for the holidays, thanks for the keeper!! -
The flavor of this candy is unusual in a lovely way. Color was just a faint hint of pink. Could garnish each piece with a dried cranberry and small bit of candied orange to hint at the nice blend of flavors. I used a candy thermometer but texture of mine was similar to divinity, it didn't set up like traditional fudge, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't cook it a bit more next time. I'll make it again, it's very tasty! Thanks, GRACE in TEXAS, for posting! -
So yummy and a refreshing change!! A different taste that is perfect for the holidays, and looks great on a plate of goodies ;o) -
This is an excellent alternative to regular fudger. It's a very pretty color and my kids absolutely loved it! This will become a staple in my Christmas cookie and candy trays. Thank you so much!!
