I like to try something new every holiday season. Most things work, some don’t, but occasionally I stumble across something that instantly becomes part of the holiday tradition. This is a recipe I came across in 2011 and I’ve already served it once this season. There will be more before the New Year rolls around. It is easy and, as they say, oooohhhhh so good! Enjoy!
