Money Saving Tips: If you don't have extra cranberry sauce, swap it out with some jam. Buy your cornmeal in bulk and store it in an airtight container in your cupboard.
Sweet Cranberry Cornbread Muffins
Estimated Cost: $2.50 for 12
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
2/3 cup sugar
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs
12 teaspoons cranberry sauce
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons cream
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, powder, soda, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter and eggs. Pour over dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Line 12 capacity muffin pan with paper liners. Divide batter between evenly between cups. Top each with a teaspoon of cranberry sauce. Place muffin pan on cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 16 minutes, or until tops are browned. (Middles will sink a little.) Prepare a glaze by combining powdered sugar and cream to a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm muffins and serve.
P.S. The charges are doing acts of kindness everyday in December with their church classes. The Quiet Man and I are jumping in, too. It's a great way to celebrate the holidays all month long. Join in! Some ideas for the next couple of days: Call a relative on the phone that you haven't spoken with recently. Rake leaves, shovel snow, or pick up trash in a neighbor's yard.

What an awesome idea!!! We love corn muffins around my house and I know my family would gobble these up!
I'm glad you found a use for the leftover cranberry sauce.
And the muffins were a hit, bonus points!
I can't wait to try this recipe! I stocked up on cranberry sauce last year after the holidays, and I really need to start using it up! Thanks for sharing.
I love the cranberry sauce oozing out. These look awesome!
Just wanted to say hi and merry Christmas!
Oh Prudy,
You know I don't eat cranberry.
But I still wanted to come over and say hello and tell you your blue dish looks beautiful.
