Citrus and cranberry are a classic combination. Although cranberries are quite tart on their own, their flavor is enhanced when paired with a bright citrus zing. It somehow brings out the earthy sweetness of the berries by rounding out the flavor of the fruit. Our newest glaze at Curiosity Doughnuts is a cranberry-yuzu glaze. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit with a complex floral flavor that brings to mind a hint of lemon, lime, and mandarin orange. While you might think the idea of cranberry-yuzu would be a hard sell, it has the benefit of being a gorgeous pink color that draws people in. They want to taste it before they know what it is, and once they take that first bite, they are hooked. It's beautiful and delicious.
