Recipe of the Week – Holiday Desserts

Cherries Jubilee

 

Mini Dessert Tray

My holiday desserts run the gambit from the very easy, Cherries Jubilee to the time intensive, but well worth it, Mini Dessert Tray.  Depending on your schedule pick a dessert that fits the meal you are serving.  Always consider desserts that may be made in advance, either something you make the day before or desserts that freeze nicely and can be made weeks in advance.

We will be celebrating Christmas in Ohio early to accomodate some of our family who will be traveling and then Christmas on Christmas Day in New Jersey with some more of the family.  This means many desserts.  The desserts for the early Christmas can be made a day or so in advance.  I am thinking I will forgo the Christmas Log and do a cheesecake, Laurie’s Cake (cornmeal cake) and some cannoli for the early one.  A Fig and Hazelnut Tart, Bourbon Gelato and the Cherries Jubilee will round out the Christmas on Christmas meal.  Maybe some Hazelnut Toffee for both, that’s because I am a nutcase about holiday desserts.

Cherries Jubilee
