While researching recipes for the canning group this month I came across another holiday contender that would be fantastic in a gift basket or used for a cold winter morning scone. The recipe comes from Small Batch Preserving and is really a great combination of tart and sweet. The Bartlett’s we used were a beautiful white flesh and the recipe was very easy to put together. Here is recipe number three on today’s “to do” list!
