Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries for the best flavor. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Be sure to coat the cranberries in sugar before cooking them. This will help them to caramelize and create a delicious topping for the muffins.
- Don't overcook the cranberry mixture. It should be cooked until the cranberries are soft and have released their juices, but they should not be mushy.
- Use a muffin pan that is at least 12 cups in capacity. If you don't have a 12-cup muffin pan, you can use two 6-cup muffin pans.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
Cranberry upside-down muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these muffins a try!
