Do you love cranberries? Cranberries are one of our favorites here at Cherchies, and with Christmas around the corner, this easy recipe is the perfect holiday dessert, afternoon snack, or breakfast treat.
I was inspired by an old recipe I had in my cabinet, and instead of Apricot Preserves as in the original recipe, I added a bit of Cherchies® flair by substituting our Cranberry Preserves for the Apricot and added coconut to the mix. Luckily my hunches were correct as the end result was delicious!
This recipe could easily be made with any of our preserves, our Cranberry Preserves with Champagne, Blackberry Preserves, Fig Preserves With Cinnamon, or any of our butter spreads, but I was feeling festive and chose Cranberry Preserves:)
So, all you cranberry lovers out there, you need to add this recipe to your Cranberry collection. You won't be disappointed! AND, because we love ya, all our cranberry products are on SALE this weekend!
