Kick up the side dishes this Holiday with this gorgeous cornbread.

This cornbread is full of flavor and wow your guests.

I cooked it in a cast iron skillet (which happens to be my favorite) but you can bake it in any pan you choose.

This is another item you can make ahead of time, even the day before and then you can heat it up before serving if you prefer.

jalapenos and cranberries

There is so much flavor in this cornbread it’s crazy.

I melted some butter in the hot skillet and cooked a diced jalapeno before added the batter to the pan.

WOW! that gave it just a delicious undertone of flavor that is enjoyed in each and every bite!

I love jalapenos for added flavor and a little heat. I’ve mentioned this many times, if you like jalapenos you’ll love this, if they aren’t your thing, you can skip them or add 1/2 of a diced bell pepper in its place. You can adjust the spice in this dish by smelling the jalapeno as you cut it. It’s it has a super strong aroma maybe add half. The jalapenos I use are not TOO spicy. They have great flavor and my family is able to eat them without any problems. However sometimes when I shop at a different store I may get some that are really spicy, those I would then use only half of what the recipes calls for.

Now those cranberries really give this dish a great color and tangy flavor that goes great with  the jalapeno and green onions.

If you like jalapenos like me, you may want to make this Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce.

This recipe calls for buttermilk, Click here for my post on How to Make Buttermilk, or you may use dry buttermilk mixed with water (available in the baking aisle)

      Yes, they won’t give it the same moisture or flavor but I’m sure they’d taste good too.
