Cranberry Streusel Sweet Potatoes – Easy Holiday Side Dish

Wednesday, 26 November 2025

Cranberry Streusel Sweet Potatoes

  


Looking for a holiday side dish that’s as beautiful as it is delicious? These cranberry streusel sweet potatoes bring together the cozy sweetness of baked sweet potatoes with the tart sparkle of cranberries and a buttery, crunchy streusel topping. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any festive gathering, this recipe transforms a classic comfort food into a show-stopping dish that feels both nostalgic and fresh.


The combination of sweet, tart, and crunchy textures makes this side dish irresistible, while the vibrant cranberry topping adds a pop of color to your holiday table. Plus, it’s easy to prepare ahead, making it a stress-free addition to your menu. Whether you’re hosting family or bringing a dish to share, these cranberry streusel sweet potatoes are sure to become a new tradition.



Cranberry Streusel Sweet Potatoes 




As most of you know I have a real fondness for vintage recipes and vintage cookery books. I think there is great value in the old ways.  Good. Solid. Simple ways of cooking things that have been pleasing people for generations.


I adapted this sweet potato recipe from one I found in a book I have entitled Betty Crocker's Lost Recipes.  It is a compendium of tried-and-true recipes which have featured in the Betty Crocker cookbooks through the years. Slightly updates to use ingredients which are readily available today, as well as modern equipment which might not have been available when the recipes first appeared.



I thought it would be the perfect recipe to share for the holiday season, going well with Roast turkey, Roast Ham or even an unconventional roast pork or ham.



It uses many of the ingredients that we enjoy using during the holiday season. Sweet potatoes, pecans and dried cranberries and thankfully there is not a marshmallow in sight! I am afraid I am one of those people who are not overly fond of the marshmallow coated sweet potato dish that is on many people's tables during this time of year.



This is simple, not cloyingly sweet, and delicious with creamy roasted and mashed sweet potatoes topped with a crunchy, buttery nutty fruity topping that highlights them to their very best! I hope that you will want to give it a go!

 


Cranberry Streusel Sweet Potatoes 



WHAT YOU NEED
TO MAKE
CRANBERRY STREUSEL SWEET POTATOES



There is nothing extraordinary here.



  • 1 pound/454g (3 medium) orange fleshed sweet potatoes, unpeeled
  • 1 TBS butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
For the topping:
  • 1 slice of bread made into coarse soft breadcrumbs
  • 2 TBS butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (30g) pecans, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (40g) dried cranberries
  • 2 TBS butter, melted


Cranberry Streusel Sweet Potatoes 





My sweet potatoes were each about the size of my fist.  


I used salted butter as that is all I keep in my home. If you want you can use unsalted butter, but you may need to add a touch more salt to the recipe.


I used a sourdough bread to make my breadcrumbs.  You don't want to blitz them too far when you are making them and have the too fine.  You want texture which will add additional crunch to the finished dish.


I did not toast my nuts prior to making the streusel topping as I knew that they would be toasted when baking on top of the casserole dish.



Dried cranberries are available in most grocery or health food stores.




Cranberry Streusel Sweet Potatoes 



HOW TO MAKE
CRANBERRY STREUSEL SWEET POTATOES



This is a very easy make. The type of side dish that you would want for a holiday meal. No fuss. No muss. Just deliciousness.


  1. Preheat the oven to 375*F/190*C/ gas mark 5.
  2. Scrub your sweet potatoes really well, prick with a fork. Place onto a small baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25 to 35 minutes until soft. Lower the oven temperature t 350*F/180*C/ gas mark 4. (Alternately, you can peel, cube, and boil these in lightly salted boiling water. Drain well, dry out in the saucepan over the residual heat of the burner and then mash.)
  3. Let cool until you can handle them and then squeeze them out of the skins into a bowl. Mash with a fork, stir in the butter and salt. (I really hope you take this route as the flavor of roasted sweet potatoes is unmatched!)
  4. Butter a (1/2-liter/1/2-quart) baking dish. Spoon the sweet potatoes into the dish and spread them out in an even layer. (I used real butter to butter the dish, but you can use non-stick cooking spray.)
  5. While the potatoes are baking you can make the streusel topping.
  6. Toss the breadcrumbs with the melted butter, pecans and cranberries until well combined.
  7. Sprinkle the finished topping over the sweet potatoes in the baking dish.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for half an hour until the crumbs are crisp and golden brown and everything is heated through. (Prepare to fall in love.)

WHEN TO SERVE
CRANBERRY STREUSEL SWEET POTATOES




This is a recipe that is absolutely perfect for the Festive season!  Of course, this will make a fabulous side dish any time of the year, but it seems to be just perfect for the holidays, and in particular Thanksgiving, when sweet potatoes, cranberries and pecans figure in a very big way!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



DO I HAVE TO ROAST THE SWEET POTATOES?

You can peel and boil them before mashing if you wish, but I think roasting them really brings out their natural sweetness in a delicious way.



CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

You can make these delicious potatoes up to a day ahead. Just follow the directions up to the point where you would put them into the oven. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bake as per the recipe, uncovered, for 45 to 60 minutes until golden brown and heated through.


CAN THIS RECIPE BE DOUBLED?

Yes, it can very easily be doubled. Simply double all of the ingredients. Spread in a 1 liter/QT casserole dish and scatter the topping overall. It may take a bit longer to heat through.  Not more than 10 minutes I would think.



HOW CAN I STORE THE LEFTOVERS?

Slip the leftover into a covered refrigerator container. Store in the refrigerator and then reheat gently in the microwave until heated through.


HOW LONG WILL THIS KEEP?

Leftovers will keep very well, refrigerated, for up to three days.

FABULOUS SIDE DISHES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

GREEN BEAN STUFFING CASSEROLE - This tasty casserole is made up of two favorite Thanksgiving side dishes in one! Green beans in a creamy mushroom gravy combined with stuffing and then topped with crispy French-fried onions. Quick, easy and delicious!


ROOT VEGETABLE GRATIN - This is a fabulous side dish that is as pretty as a rainbow.  A trinity of tasty root vegetables, layered n a shallow baking dish and baked until tender in a rich and delicious infused cream.

How to Make Scandinavian Almond Cookies | Perfect for Gifting

Tuesday, 25 November 2025

 

Scandinavian Almond Cookies
 


These Scandinavian Almond Cookies are crisp, buttery, and delicately flavored with almond. A traditional holiday favorite, they’re easy to bake and perfect for gifting or enjoying with coffee. Simple ingredients, timeless flavor, and a touch of Nordic charm make this recipe a must‑try for your holiday cookie tray.



Scandinavian Almond Cookies






 This is a recipe which I saw on Pinterest and is attributed to Give a Blond a Kitchen. They looked delicious and I saved the recipe to make for this year's holidays.


They were very easy to make. The cookie dough is shaped into flat logs, baked and then cut into diagonals when done. They are very similar to my Raspberry Split Seconds recipe in this respect. This is a wonderful to make a lot of cookies in a short period of time.


The dough is very sugary which causes them to come out of the oven very crisp. This is why you need to cut them while they are still warm. They may look like they aren't done when you take them out, but trust me when I tell you that this is the correct bake time. Don't bake them any longer or they will be too hard.


They are similar in shape and size to the Swedish Spice Crisps that I made last year, which were phenomenal. You also need to check those out as they are amazing cookies as well.


In any case, these turned out beautifully. Crisp and sweet with a lovely almond flavor!  Prepare to fall in love! These could very well be a new favorite for the holidays!



Scandinavian Almond Cookies 





WHAT YOU NEED
TO MAKE
SCANDINAVIAN ALMOND COOKIES


Simple, ordinary baking cupboard ingredients. There is nothing fancy in these simple, but delicious cookies.


  • 1 3/4 cup (218g) plain, all-purpose flour, unsifted
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 2 TBS milk
  • 1/2 cup (42g) sliced almonds
To glaze:
  • 1 cup (130g) icing sugar, sifted
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1-2 TBS milk to give you the right consistency



Scandinavian Almond Cookies 






If all you have is self-rising flour, then leave out the baking powder and the salt. I cannot guarantee they will work. I do recommend using PLAIN flour for these.


I used salted butter and did not find the dough to be too salty at all.


I used Kirkland organic granulated sugar. If you are in the U.K, use caster sugar as the granulated sugar there is far too coarse.


I used pure almond extract (Watkins) and whole milk.


Icing sugar is also known as confectioner's or powdered sugar.





Scandinavian Almond Cookies 





HOW TO MAKE
SCANDINAVIAN ALMOND COOKIES




These really are very simple to make. I love the ease with which they go together.



  1. Preheat the oven to 325*F/160*C/gas mark 3. Line two large baking sheets with baking paper. (I actually shaped the dough off the cookie sheets on the parchment paper and then transferred the loaded baking paper to the baking sheets.)
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. (about 2 minutes)
  3. Beat in the egg and the almond extract. (Make sure they are well incorporated.)
  4. Whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together. Beat this into the creamed mixture until everything is thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. (It may look sandy/granular, but will come together when you shape it into the balls.)
  5. Shape into 4 equally sized balls.
  6. Working with one at a time, shape each ball into a long that is roughly 12 inches long and 1 inch thick. Place each log 4 inches apart on the lined baking sheets. (This is easily done. Shape into a shorter log and then roll out to the longer logs on the paper using the palms of your hand.)
  7. Using a rolling pin roll out until you have a flat rectangle, 12 inches by 3 inches in size. (I used a rolling pin for this. DO make sure they are well spaced apart as the dough will spread when baking.)
  8. Brush the tops with the milk and sprinkle the almonds evenly over top. (I used whole milk and un-toasted flaked almonds.)
  9. Bake in the preheated oven, one baking sheet at a time until golden brown on the edges. (You don't want to be adding cold dough to hot baking sheets so if you only have one baking sheet, let it cool down completely in between bakes.)
  10. Remove from the oven and cut diagonally into 1-inch strips while still warm. (I use a pizza cutter.)
  11. Repeat with the other baking sheet.
  12. To glaze whisk the glaze ingredients together until you have a smooth drizzle icing, only adding enough milk to give you the desired consistency. (Just add enough milk to give you a drizzle. If you have added too much milk, you may need to add more icing sugar to give you the correct consistency.)
  13. Drizzle this icing over the cookies decoratively and leave to set before serving.






Scandinavian Almond Cookies 



HINTS AND TIPS FOR SUCCESS


  • Read through the recipe completely prior to beginning to help familiarize yourself with any ingredients or equipment needed.
  • Assemble all of your ingredients before you start. This helps to prevent you from leaving anything out.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature.  This will give you the best results.
  • Shape and roll your dough out on parchment paper, this will help you to be able to roll it out more easily and transfers easily to the baking sheet once rolled.
  • For real success I always recommend weighing your ingredients. Whilst cup measurements can vary in size, a gram is always a gram. I use a set of kitchen scales for this, which are available on Amazon and at cooking supply stores.
  • Cut your cookies/bars while they are still warm.  There is a possibility of them shattering if you wait until they are cold.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS




CAN THE DOUGH FOR THESE BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

Absolutely. Make the dough, shape into logs, wrap and refrigerate.  Bring to room temperature and proceed as per the recipe when you want to bake them. The dough will keep for up to 48 hours without baking.



CAN I FREEZE THE DOUGH?

Yes, you can. Shape into logs. Wrap tightly in cling film and then in foil.  Freeze.  The dough will keep frozen for up to three months. Thaw completely before proceeding as per the recipe instructions.


CAN I FREEZE THE BAKED COOKIES?

Yes, you can.  Place into an airtight container with wax paper or parchment paper between the layers. They will keep baked and frozen for up to 3 months.  Bring to room temperature to serve.


DO I HAVE TO BAKE THIS COOKIE DOUGH AS BARS?

Not at all. You can bake it as individual cookies. You can simply roll the dough into balls and place well-spaced apart on the cookie sheets. Flatten slightly, brush with milk and sprinkle a few almonds on the top of each. Bake at 350*F/180*C/gas mark 4 for 12 minutes.



CAN I USE GLUTEN FREE OR ALMOND FLOUR?

I can't say for sure never having done that. I think a one for one gluten free flour substitute might work but I don't know for sure. I do not think almond flour would work at all.





Scandinavian Almond Cookies 





A FEW OTHER
FESTIVE COOKIES TO BAKE




Here are a few other cookies that we like to bake for the festive season, cookie trays, gifts, etc. I hope you will also enjoy them!




RASPBERRY THUMBPRINTS - It wouldn't be Christmas without a few of these on the cookie tray. They have a short buttery texture which is perfectly set off by the dollop of raspberry jam in the middle. I like to give them a sweet drizzle glaze to dress them up.



WHIPPED SHORTBREADS - These always turn out perfectly with no faffing about or trouble.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy as they say. Simply beat everything together, drop on the pan, decorate with a bit of cherry or some sprinkles and bake. These are the easiest and tastiest shortbread cookies you could ever make.

Easy Green Chili Biscuit Bread | Savory, Cheesy & Comforting Recipe

Monday, 24 November 2025

 

Green Chili & Cheese Biscuit Bread
 


This Green Chili & Cheese Biscuit Bread is a savory quick bread packed with spicy green chilies and melty Monterey Jack Cheese. Soft, fluffy, and full of flavor, it makes a perfect side for soups, stews, or chili night. 



Quick and easy to make, this recipe uses only five simple ingredients and will bring a cozy kick to your table. It's a delicious pull-apart cheese bread that everyone is sure to fall in love with!


Green Chili & Cheese Biscuit Bread

 


I discovered the original recipe in an old Pillsbury Classic Cookbook that was published in 1991.  They used to always have these small cookbooks next to the cashiers in the grocery store and I used to collect most of them. They were loaded with simple and delicious recipes, some requiring the use of Pillsbury products and some not. I always found it was very easy to substitute ingredients in any case.


This book was called "Dinner in Minutes" and this quick bread recipe was in the Side Dishes and Salads Section. It literally goes together in minutes.  It's also a very attractive bread, resembling a flower in some ways. A cheesy, golden, deliciously savory flower! Quick and easy to put together and a lot of fun to eat!


Green Chili & Cheese Biscuit Bread 



INGREDIENTS NEEDED
TO MAKE
GREEN CHILI & CHEESE BISCUIT BREAD


There is nothing out of the ordinary here. Five simple ingredients.

  • 1 can of refrigerated flaky biscuits (can which holds 10 biscuits)
  • 1 TBS butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp mild chili powder
  • 3 TBS chopped, seeded fresh jalapeno chilies
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces/57g) grated Monterey Jack cheese





Green Chili & Cheese Biscuit Bread 




You can find the refrigerated biscuits in the chiller section of the grocery store. If you cannot get them or they are not available where you live, substitute a good biscuit dough recipe in their place. I can highly recommend this recipe.  It will make just the correct amount of biscuits.



Make sure you use mild chili powder. If you use full strength chili powder it will be too strong.



One large jalapeno pepper will give you the right amount. Trim and remove the ribs and the seeds, discarding them. You can also use the equivalent in tinned roasted chopped green chilies. Make sure you drain them first and pat dry.


Jack Cheese is what the recipe asked for. You can use any good quality melting cheese or a mix of several cheses.




Green Chili & Cheese Biscuit Bread



HOW TO MAKE 
GREEN CHILI & CHEESE BISCUIT BREAD 



  1. Preheat the oven to 400*F/200*C/ gas mark 6. Line a medium baking sheet with baking parchment. (Make sure your baking sheet will hold a bread that is at least 10-inches round.)
  2. Open the can of biscuits, Separate into 10 biscuits. (If your can doesn't have 10 biscuits, do the best that you can.)
  3. Place one biscuit in the center of the baking sheet and add the remaining biscuits around the center biscuit, overlapping them slightly. Gently press them out to a 10-inch round. (Make sure that they are overlapping the center biscuit as well as the biscuits around the edge.)
  4. Melt the butter and add the chili powder. Brush this all over the surface of the biscuits.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over top and then sprinkle with the green chilies. (If you are using canned chilies, make sure you drain them well and pat them dry.)
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 17 minutes until golden brown.
  7. To serve, pull apart warm biscuits.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



REFRIGERATED DOUGH IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME, WHAT CAN I USE?

Feel free to use any homemade biscuit or plain scone recipe to make this simple bread. Just pick your favorite recipe and stamp out five rounds, proceeding forward as per this recipe.



CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

You could certainly make it up to one day ahead and simply reheat when you are wanting to serve it. I do not recommend making it any further ahead than that.


DO I NEED TO USE GREEN CHILIES?

Feel free to leave them out. You could use chopped spring onions, or any other peppers, or leave the addition of any fresh topping out entirely. You could use canned chopped green chilies, drained, or you could use chopped parsley or any other herb.


MUST I USE MONTEREY JACK CHEESE?

Feel free to use whatever cheese you enjoy that has great melting properties. A white cheddar would be nice. Gruyere cheese would be lovely.  There is a grated pizza/cheddar cheese mix here that has bacon in it that would be gorgeous.


CAN THIS BE FROZEN?

I have never done so, so I cannot say with any certainty that it can or that it cannot be frozen.




HOW DO I STORE ANY LEFTOVERS?

Simply wrap up any leftovers in cling film or aluminum foil and refrigerate.  Reheat in a gentle oven when you go to serve it.



HOW LONG WILL THIS KEEP?

This simple bread will keep for two to three days, covered and refrigerated.







Green Chili & Cheese Biscuit Bread 





WHAT CAN I SERVE WITH 
GREEN CHILI & CHEESE BISCUIT BREAD 



This very simple side dish goes very well with soups, stews, chili, salads, etc.  If you are not fond of green chilies, leave them out and replace the chili powder with some garlic powder and make a simple garlic and cheese biscuit bread in its place.  With a bit of ingenuity and thought this can be a very versatile recipe!


This is especially good served with chili. On the recipe in the booklet, it is called a Nacho flavored, pull-apart dinner bread.




Green Chili & Cheese Biscuit Bread 






A FEW OTHER RECIPES 
YOU CAN MAKE
USING REFRIGERATED DOUGHS



I tend to always keep a can of some sort of refrigerated dough in my fridge, ready to make something tasty on the spur of the moment.  Here are a few other favorites!



HOLIDAY DANISH - When it's the Festive Season I can't help but bake as much as I can with prepared mincemeat as possible. The holidays and mincemeat just go together like peas and carrots for me and this recipe deliciously highlights my favorite festive ingredient! Crescent rolls with a delicious cream cheese filling and the addition of sweet and spicy mincemeat with a sweet glaze. This is a quick and easy favorite! 



BBQ BEEF CROISSANT PIE - The BBQ beef filling for this tasty supper pie is very easy to make.  Putting it all together is also very easy. There is no making of pastry or rolling out of dough. Simply make your filling and then crack open your can of dough. Strategically placed in a pie tin, filled and scattered with cheese, this bakes into a simply delicious supper everyone will enjoy!

This is a book I wrote several years ago, published by Passageway Press. I am incredibly proud of this accomplishment. It is now out of print as my publisher went out of business after Covid, but you can still find used copies for sale here and there. If you have a copy of it, hang onto it because they are very rare. This was a real labor of love for me and a dream come true as I had always wanted to write a book since I was a child. Hopefully I will be able to republish it one day.

Canadian lover of all things British. I cook every day and like to share it with you!
A third of my life was spent living in the UK. I learned to love the people, the country and the cuisine. I have always been an Anglophile. You will find plenty of traditional British recipes here in my English Kitchen. There are lots of North American recipes also, but then again, I am a Canadian by birth. I like to think of my page as a happy mix of both. If you are looking for something and cannot find it, don't be afraid to ask! I am always happy to help and point you in the right direction, even if it exists on another page, or in my extensive collection of cookbooks. I moved back to Canada in the year 2020 and have been busy building a new life for myself back in my homeland. I am largely retired now, except for this little space on the internet that I call home. I hope you will stay a while and have a good boo around. There's lots of deliciousness here to explore!
