{WIN} One of FIVE Ocean Spray Hampers and a Cranberry Loaf Recipe

May 11, 2016 by Laura le Roux 29 Comments

I love baking. It is my happy place, I have said this often. I will happily try out a new loaf/cake recipe every day over cooking dinner.

So when Ocean Spray contacted me and asked me to use the products they sent me to create a recipe I was super excited, seriously I think I do have the best job.

Obviously my first point of call was Pinterest to find all the cranberry recipes I could. Eventually I settled on a Cream Cheese Cranberry Loaf and a Slow Cooker Chicken Marinade. Both came out really well but the loaf was better – I didn’t use the slow cooker for the chicken dish so I think next time I will do that and I am sure it will be nicer.Cranberry loaf|SA Mom Blogs

[yumprint-recipe id=’1′]Ocean Spray have given us FIVE hampers of their awesome products to giveaway to our readers.Cranberry loaf|SA Mom Blogs

“Ocean Spray products are full of goodness that deliver health benefits and contains several unique compounds, such as Type-A proanthocyanidins (PAC’s) that helps cleanse and purify your body. In a host of exciting flavours that tantalize the taste buds and offer something for every palette to enjoy morning, noon and night, Ocean Spray products offer a uniquely rich taste that is refreshing, satisfying and revitalising.”

To enter, tell me your favourite thing to bake.

Competition ends 18 May 2016 and is open to SA residents only.

    I love baking (and cooking) and find it so relaxing (when I’m not under pressure that is)! My favourite thing to bake….. hmmm probably cheese muffins. I just love a cheese muffin and I’m on a mission to perfect them. My last batch were the best so far, I added feta to the cheddar and they came out so yummy. So I’ll have to keep on baking and er… testing ahem cough-cough to eventually make the perfect muffin…. if ever!! Thanks for a great review, I’ve never heard of Ocean Spray products, but they look and sound great! 🙂
