🌟 Tips & Variations

• Extra crunch: Broil 1–2 minutes at the end for crispier edges.

• Fruit swap: Use figs or sliced apples instead of cranberries.

• Nut swap: Walnuts or almonds work well instead of pecans.

• Make-ahead: Toast pecans ahead and store cranberries; assemble and bake just before serving.

• Drizzle ideas: Maple syrup or balsamic glaze adds a nice flavor twist.
