Just in time for the holidays Boston Sustainable Food Examiner Leah Bloom returns to KitchenArts to show us how to candy cranberries, citrus peels, and nuts (we'll try walnuts, pecans, and/or almonds). And we'll use the resulting fruited simple syrups to make cocktails!
Candied nuts are great for snacking, adding to trail mix, putting in muffins and breads, using as a pie topping, sprinkling over salad, and lots more. They can be sweet or spicy or savory - it's simple to adjust the flavor for any use or occasion. Candied fruits are a beautiful addition to any dessert spread, and can also be used in fruitcake, as a decorative topping for pies and cakes, and, of
course, for snacking when you need a little sweet something.
And then there's the cocktails...we were thinking we could make cosmopolitans and orange vodka martinis. Any takers?
