I've been making these for about 3 years now. My family loves them because they are not "too sweet". These make beautiful gifts and were gone in a flash when I brought them to work. I often make a double batch and freeze extras--and they do freeze really well. I always seem to have about 1/4 cup of filling left over so maybe my muffin tins are smaller than others... Highly recommend!
I've been making Tassies for years. Adding the cranberries and orange peel takes them to a new level of delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Easy to make and very refreshing with the cranberry and bit of orange. took them to work and everyone loved them.
These are really delicious. I made them ahead for give-away Christmas treats and froze them. It worked out really well. My husband loves them and everyone I shared them with did too. This is definitely a keeper/repeat recipe. Can't wait to make them again.
