Yummy Christmas Recipes ~ Cranberry Pistachio Bark ~

Over the coming weeks I thought I would share some of my favourite Christmas recipes.
This recipe is from a former co-worker of mine. I'll caution you to resist the urge to double the recipe, if you do, trust me, you'll eat it all!! We make it every Christmas and it is unbelievably good!!

Cranberry Pistachio Bark

1 pound good quality white chocolate (I use Belgian)
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup shelled pistachios

Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Let cool to room temperature. Roast pistachios at 350 degrees F. for 5 - 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Stir cranberries and pistachios into melted chocolate. Pour and then spread mixture onto a parchment lined 10" x 15" cookies sheet. Refridgerate for at least 1 hour, then break into pieces. Makes about 1 1/2 pounds. Store in refrigerator.

About Me

Name: Monica

Location: New Brunswick, Canada

I have been married for many, many years to an amazing man in the world and together we have two grown children. I am a Registered Nurse and I first had the idea to start a blog for "older moms" when I started noticing a lot of blogs were aimed toward moms with young children. I applaud these and the help, companionship, information and support they provide and I still remember those days well.....well, most days I remember them well!! However, my kids are grown and I'm no longer in my 30's....or 40’s and some of the information I was getting was no longer relevant and some of the information I was seeking was not out there. I thought there must be others out there who felt the same... so, here I am and I hope I’m not alone!!
