As you can see these do take a little work, but they are SO worth it!  This is a family tradition in our house, we can't go a holiday without them!  We have them by themselves, with homemade freezer jam (yum) and with turkey, cream cheese, and cranberry sauce (yum again- although I realize that is more of a Thanksgiving day thing).  Anyways, HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
