Leena Bakes: Cranberry Gingerbread Sorbet Sandwiches!

My cranberry gingerbread sorbet sandwiches! A kick-ass treat for any winter occasion.

Rumor has it Turkey day is just around the corner, so I thought this would be the perfect time to roll out my new favorite winter dessert recipe: cranberry gingerbread sorbet sandwiches. Technically, I made these for my pre-Turkey day chili cookoff, which you’ll read about soon. But since cranberries only seem to appear in the market from November-December, this is a really great way to enjoy the short but delicious cranberry season.

The recipe and more food porn after the jump!

Amuse bouche: Gingerbread’s rise to popularity

From a simple German recipe for lebkuchen to an American Christmas classic, gingerbread was one of the most popular Christmas treats for early American children. Why? It tasted good, was cheap to make, and could be made in any type of oven–it was a true idiot proof recipe, and one that many Americans crave today around the holidays.
