I went in search of a Christmas treat that we could make that wouldn't be completely devoid of nutritional value. I came up with something kind of fun! Sugared cranberries are full of vitamin C, good for urinary tract health, have fewer calories per serving than most Christmas treats- AND they're tasty and festive!The recipe is from Cooking Light, but I would add that whereas they say to remove the sugar syrup from heat before one adds the cranberries, I found that one should leave the cranberries on the heat for a couple minutes so that they will soften enough to absorb sugar.
Have you found any good, healthy holiday treats? I'd love to hear about them!
sounds quite yummy to me, but i'm no kid anymore.
ReplyDeleteNot healthy but . . . I used up all the cereal in the house- sample size boxes of cheerios, odd favolered Eggo cereal that the kids begged for, capn crunch etc- and some other stuff and made two big batches of chex mix.
ReplyDeleteIt was yummy!
