Cranberry Pecan Upside-Down Cake image

At our house, cranberries are a favorite. I made this dessert for the first time in the 1990s. It started out as a pineapple upside down cake-I just changed a few things around! It keeps and travels well, so it's perfect for taking to church dinners. And we love to share it with our son and grandchildren. -Doris Heath, Franklin, North Carolina
