Hello all, recipe below: I made this last night, and I did use the 2 tablespoons of ginger and no prob. I tasted more of the butter flavor than ginger very interesting. However, I am wondering about the glaze. I don't know if I didn't cook it long enough because it was not thik just a simple syrup with cranberry flavor. Wen on the cake, it didn't harden or glaze either. so I am wondering if anyone else has made this and their thoughts. Cake is very good, glaze is red and I think am going to experiment making some sort of cranberry martini with the simple cranberry syrup. Sounds holidayish doesn't it? *smile* thanks for any thoughts Dee Cranberry Pound Cake With Cranberry Glaze cake
