Cranberry Turnovers

cranberry turnover

Left overs are always my favorite part of Thanksgiving – turkey sandwiches, the next day – are the best!  As our friends south of the border get over their turkey hanger-overs I thought I would share one of my favorite Thanksgiving leftover recipes – Cranberry Turnovers.

Most of us probably find ourselves with leftover cranberry sauce the morning after the big turkey dinner.  This year I had some leftover pie dough as well and thought what better to use both up than super easy and festive cranberry turnovers.  Light and flaky, I bet you can’t have just one 😉 If unlike me you weren’t left with extra pie dough, not to worry, puff pastry works really well too.

My romance with pears continues with the most perfect way to cap an incredibly full week – a Pear, Ginger and Sage Cocktail.  Delicious fall flavours in a glass is how I would describe it.  Sweet and crisp perfection.

The mild heat of the ginger is balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the simple syrup and pear nectar, which by the way I had never tried until now.  It’s delicious and great in morning smoothies if you have any left over 😉

Happy Weekend Friends!

Ok, I’m going to stop here and let you enjoy it for yourself before I drool all over my keyboard thinking about it!
