Typically around the holiday season there is a Christmas Tart that is star shaped with a dallop of plum jam in the center. Those are really great and supposedly very easy to make, but I have yet to try.
As well, another popular treat (besides chocolate of course!) are ginger bread cookies. Big deal right? Well, for my knitting group the other night, I hosted a Christmas roast chicken dinner. A guest brought a box of ginger bread cookies and a package of blue cheese.
You can scrape your jaw off the floor now, it's really not that bad of a combination! It's like chocolate covered potato chips (you can buy these in PEI)! The combination of sweet and salty was nice.
While visiting another friend for dinner over there, they had the same thing set out for dessert (along with chocolates and fresh fruits) but they also found a goat cheese made with cranberries mixed in. Well, I typically hate cranberries but this was really lovely with the goat cheese and then spread onto a gingerbread cookie!
