To make the Christmas tree pictured below, place a tree-shaped cookie cutter on a plate lined with wax paper; fill with butter, and garnish with pink peppercorns. Freeze four hours or until firm enough to remove from mold. Place in a zip-top plastic freezer bag, and freeze up to one month.
Made with Sweet-Hot Honey Mustard, Cranberry-Pecan Chicken Salad is great to keep on hand for casual get-togethers. Serve it as a luncheon entrée or in miniature tart shells for a quick appetizer. For gift giving, pack it into pretty jars, and deliver them to family and friends with a fresh loaf of bakery bread.
Pack Holiday Herb Butter into colorful pottery crocks, or mold it into festive shapes using cookie cutters. Plastic candy molds, sold at crafts stores, are perfect for shaping individual portions.
