Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
The flavors of orange and cranberry together seemed Christmassy to Grandma, so she made orange whipped cream for topping the crisp. She beat 1/2 pint whipping cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar and the grated zest of 1 orange and let it chill for a few minutes before serving it.
