Here's a great way to use up that small bit of cranberry sauce left over from your Thanksgiving dinner. Using a boxed biscuit mix, this Cranberry Coffee Cake from Allrecipes.com can be made in the time it takes to fire up your coals. Line your 10 inch dutch oven with parchment paper, pour in the batter, plop spoonfuls of cranberry sauce over all and sprinkle with the topping. I baked this with 10 coals in a circle around the base of the oven and 20-22 coals on the lid. I'm sure whole cranberry sauce would be equally delicious. Let it cool for a good 15 minutes before lifting out of the oven, you could let it cool completely before glazing. Naturally, I couldn't wait and devoured this yummy cake while it was still warm, gooey and dripping with the sugary glaze.

2 cups Bisquick or baking mix
2 Tblsp sugar

In a small bowl, whisk glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over coffee cake.
