yes I do like ginger and since you have made other recipes I'll go for it. I love orange with cranberry. My sister in Wisconsin is entering cranberry breads into their cranberry festival celebrations and when she sent me a test cakes one tasted so much vibrant and the only difference was a bit of orange.. weird but great! :) Dee and thanks again for the nod over the ginger

I see why the amount would give you pause, but I made a ginger bread recipe recently that called for two tablespoons, which, admittedly, I had haved the ginger on before, but it was good with the two tablespoons. I had some cranberry orange scones recently, so I'll bet if you added some orange juice or peel, would make for a nice addition.
