Smiley Face Pancakes with Cranberry Sauce!
Everyone is familiar with getting cranberries from cans or from jars but having fresh cranberries is such a treat. Fresh cranberries are tart and spongy. They need to be cooked down with a bit of sugar to get them sweet. I decided to experiment and make some fresh cranberry sauce for my sour dough pancakes….
