Well, meet their delicious holiday cousin, CRANBERRY FRITTERS (aka cranberry doughnuts).

Cranberry Fritters/Doughnuts

from Taste of Home

Ingredients

1 egg

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries

Oil for frying

Additional sugar

Directions

In a bowl, beat egg; add sugar and butter.

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; add to sugar mixture alternately with milk.

Fold in cranberries. Heat oil in an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer to 375° (I don't have either of these so I just used a good ol non stick pan! Just make sure your oil is at 375).

Drop tablespoonfuls of batter into oil. Fry doughnuts a few at a time, turning with a slotted spoon until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; roll in sugar while still warm. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

Hope your week is amazing!
