Tips:

- Make sure to use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they will not be as flavorful. - If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries and orange zest by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely. - You can also use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook to make the bagel dough. - If you don't have any bagel seasoning, you can make your own by combining 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon of dried garlic flakes. - Bake the bagels until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. - Let the bagels cool completely before slicing and serving.
