Cranberry Orange Pecan Crisp Recipe Tips:
+ This dish is best served warm, so make sure to hold off on baking it until you’re ready to eat. And don’t skip those few minutes of cooling time or you may burn your mouth.
+ If you can only find frozen cranberries, that’s okay. Let them thaw overnight and add a little bit of cornstarch to thicken up the base before you toss it in the oven.
