cranberries
a very easy and delicious treat. just soak fresh cranberries in a simple syrup overnight. then drain and toss in sugar. i used an organic cane sugar. a wonderful snack on their own or perfect for a cheese plate at christmas. even the kids couldn’t resist them. the only mistake i made was putting a...
