Candied Tangerine and Cranberry Muffins with Spicy Pecans

I’ve still got some cranberries from my visit to the bogs last fall. I also love perusing the aisles of Trader Joe’s. I found these candied tangerines that are like eating candy! And spicy sweet pecans – I snack on these treats too much!! Anyway, I digress. I wanted some homemade muffins – cranberry – but what else? Cranberry orange is popular – and really good.  Hmmmm – I wonder how those candied tangerines and pecans would be? I wonder…..
