I've made these tarts several times and they're always a hit. They're a great way to use up leftover cranberries.

Overall, I thought these tarts were good, but not great. I might try a different recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the tarts out of the pan without breaking them. I think I needed to grease the pan more.

These tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these tarts. The orange flavor was strong enough to balance out the tartness of the cranberries.

The recipe was easy to follow and the tarts turned out beautifully. I used a mix of walnuts and pecans for the nuts, and they added a delicious flavor.

These tarts were a hit at my holiday party! The orange and cranberry flavors were perfectly balanced, and the nuts added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again next year.
