Apple Cranberry Smoothie
Celebrate the flavors of the season with my vibrant Apple Cranberry Smoothie recipe! Packed full of fall flavors, like crisp apple, tart fresh cranberries, creamy Greek yogurt, rich almond butter, and a dash of warm spices, this smoothie is truly a seasonal delight that you’ll want to make all year round. Sweetened with a hint of vanilla and a touch of honey (or agave), this delicious breakfast smoothie will literally make your taste buds dance!
Fresh Cranberry Sauce
Fresh Cranberry Sauce may be a holiday staple, but it’s delicious any time of year. Lightly spiced with warm cinnamon and aromatic cloves, and a hint of orange, this quick and easy recipe takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. This cranberry sauce is even better if made a few days ahead of time, which allows the flavors to fully develop. It’s the ultimate accompaniment to any holiday meal.
Cranberry Martini
This festive Cranberry Martini is an elegant cocktail to serve during the holidays. Made with my Cranberry Simple Syrup, this delicious and sophisticated 3 ingredient cocktail gets dressed up with a garnish of sugared cranberries. It’s not overly sweet and has just the right amount of cranberry tang. The perfect apéritif for the holiday season!
Cranberry Simple Syrup & Topping
This sweet and slightly tart recipe for Cranberry Simple Syrup & Topping makes two recipes with one single effort! The cranberry topping is actually a byproduct of simple syrup, both of which can be used in a number of different food and drink recipes. Using only two ingredients, it’s hard to go wrong with this recipe. It’s so yummy, that you will be looking for even more ways to use it!
