Wow! These sounds like two wonderful recipes that would work well for a Christmas brunch after all the presents are opened!
I love cranberry juice. I make one that is not exactly like this, but this looks very good also. The egg recipe also looks good. Never heard of it.
Happy Holidays everyone!!
Oh Yummy!
a new punch recipe which is good; I've been using the same one for years.

Can't say much for the baked eggs but I would really like the Sparkling Cranberry Punch!..especially punched up with a shot of Vodka! LOL Maybe I should save that one for New Years!
Just to let you all know, I fixed this recipe for Christmas morning (first time) and the whole family loved them. It's a nice dish to make, becuase you put it together the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning....
These sound very good. I love cranberry anything. Thanks for all the recipes.
