Ingredients

For the fruit:

1/2 stick unsalted butter
4 1/2 cups cranberries
3 tablespoons sugar

For the batter:

1 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Few drops orange oil
1/3 cup flaked almonds
Turbinado sugar, to sprinkle over

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Melt 1/2 stick butter in a wide saucepan, then add the cranberries and sugar. Cook over a fairly high heat until the fruit begins to pop. This will take hardly anytime if the cranberries are fresh, and about 10 minutes if they're frozen. Remove the pan from the heat.

Combine the flour, baking powder, soda and sugar in a large bowl and add the eggs, melted butter and orange oil. Mix until smooth. Pour half of the batter into a 2-pint round pie dish. Cover with the cranberries, then top with the remaining batter; don't worry if the cranberries are not covered completely.

Sprinkle flaked almonds and turbinado sugar over and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and set.

I love this pudding
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for Christmas 2008 and all my extended family LOVED it! This recipe is simple and easy. If you can't make it... correctly you need to go back to high school home economics class. Read more

Overflow!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Thanks a lot Nigella. Your stupid recipe ruined my brand new oven. It overflowed and all the sugar burned into the bottom of... my oven including the burners. I see I'm not the first to have this experience. So much for my beautiful new Kenmore!Read more

IMPRESSIVE
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love cranberries and this recipe is excellent when you want to impress any time of year! The 'crust' is almost like a... cookie, good even if the edges get a little over cooked - every time I serve it my guests are VERY impressed! Little do they know how EASY it is!Read more

Lost in Translation?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Looked good on TV. But recipe was a disaster. I must wonder if the translation from metric to standard measure may have... been badly messed up. Wish I would have read the reviews first. Although I moved the ingredients to a deep dish, it was way to thick to complete cooking through. A large flat casserole might work. At least I avoided the spill-overs and oven messes cause the Mrs. sure does not like those!Read more
