Cranberry and Camembert Canapes
New Years Eve is all about the apps! Every year we like to add a few new recipes to the mix. This year we were asked by Food Network UK (squee!) to come up with a canapé for a Christmas feature, and this is the recipe we choose. We liked it so much that we thought it deserved a place in the New Years line-up. You can see the feature here, and you should take the time to peruse the rest of the site–the recipes are in metric, but can easily be converted by referring to online charts.
