What makes these Corn Muffins a great side dish?
I have the absolute perfect honey corn muffin with kickin' cranberry sauce to go with any of those cold weather soups that you've been cooking up to stay warm in this winter weather.
The honey corn muffins are adapted from the fabulous recipe from A Farmgirl's Dabbles. The adaptations were made due to my lack of ingredients and luckily for me worked perfectly for the muffins. These muffins were go perfectly with just about any soup, but we are partial to my Italian Wedding Soup and Crockpot Turkey Chili.
Ingredients:
- Cornmeal
- Whole wheat flour
- Sugar
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Heavy cream
- Milk
- Butter
- Eggs
- Honey
- Brown sugar
- Water
- Fresh cranberries
- Horseradish
- Dijon Mustard
Why top them with Cranberry sauce?
The honey corn muffins are great by themselves, but guess what, the kickin' cranberry sauce puts them over the edge. The cranberry sauce includes fresh cranberries that give them a sweet, tart taste that is kicked up a notch with the addition of horseradish. So good!
I have to be honest though. My favorite part of these muffins is definitely the Kickin' Cranberry Sauce. I had made the sauce for this Cranberry Dinner Party Appetizer and topped it on crackers and cream cheese.
Yum, of course because of the cream cheese, but I literally wanted to just eat the cranberry sauce by itself. Did I mention that I don't like fresh cranberry sauce? Well, this cranberry sauce totally changed my mind.

I like your new background! I love a tukrey burger but haven't had one with cranberry sauce before. It makes perfect sense though. Your picture of the burger is excellent 😀
