CRANBERRY CINNAMON JAM BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°. Butter a 9x13 baking dish or a quarter sheet pan.
• In a large bowl combine butter and sugars, mix on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time and beat to combine after each addition.
• Add the vanilla and beat until combined.
• Add the flour to the butter mixture and mix low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not over mix.
• Press approximately ½ of the dough into the prepared baking pan, and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. It won't look done, because it's not... Refrigerate the remaining 2/3 of the dough.
• Pour the cranberry jam over the crust and spread it out evenly with an offset spatula. Crumble the remaining dough over top.
• Bake until the filling is bubbly and the topping is lightly golden, about 20-30 minutes. Sprinkle candied ginger over the top.
• Let cool before cutting into squares. (I know, I know...go ahead and cut a corner out for quality control...the things we must do as bakers...)

HOMEMADE DOUGHNUTS WITH CINNAMON SUGAR AND CRANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the yeast and the water. Set aside to "proof".
• After 10 minutes, stir in the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar for 8 to 10 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time. When the mixture is smooth, stir in the vanilla and salt. Add the bread flour and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
• Stir in the yeast mixture until thoroughly incorporated. Put the dough into an oiled bowl and allow to proof for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. In a medium bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon. Set aside.
• Lightly flour a cool work surface and roll the dough out to about 1 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough with a round 3-inch cutter and turn them onto a floured baking sheet to rest, about 20 to 30 minutes, before frying.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 365 to 370 degrees F. Drop the dough rounds, in batches, into the hot oil and cook until golden brown on 1 side. Using a slotted spoon, turn the dough rounds on the second side and cook until golden brown. Remove them from the oil to paper towels to remove any excess oil. Roll the doughnuts in the cinnamon sugar and arrange on a serving platter. Serve immediately with the Cranberry Jam for dipping.
• In a medium pot, add the cranberries, sugar, water and the 1/2 cup of orange juice. Stir to blend and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and add the cinnamon stick, allspice and nutmeg. Stir to blend and simmer for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Some of the cranberries will burst and some will remain whole. Stir in the orange zest and orange juice and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm with the doughnuts.
