Fresh Cranberry and Pumpkin Muffins

This past week our Mom bought 2 bags of fresh cranberries, they needed used cup before they went bad so we decided to make these. We have made these muffins before using dried cranberries so we thought they would taste even better with fresh! They turned out wonderful, the tartness of the cranberries was just the right addition to the pumpkin batter!
