A smile always comes over my face when I see fresh cranberries first appear at my local grocery store. There is just something so warm and comforting about cranberry season.

If you typically only eat cranberries in sauce form on top of your turkey on Thanksgiving, I urge you to think beyond the bird. Cranberries are not only an excellent source of vitamins and antioxidants, they are also just plain delicious.

Tart, tangy and vibrant in color, fresh cranberries turn into a easy sauce for waffles, pancakes and more in just 15 minutes. You can heat them with water or even a little fresh orange juice for added sweetness. For these hearty buckwheat Belgian waffles, I decided to sweeten them with pure maple syrup. Because, waffles.
