Cranberry Puffs
Yummy cranberry and cream cheese filled wontons. A little sweet, a little spicy...a perfect snack for the holidays
Ingredients
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
1 jalapeno pepper, stem removed
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
3 cups canola oil for frying
Directions
In a food processor, combine the cranberries, jalapeno pepper, sugar and mayonnaise. Process until smooth. This will be your cranberry relish. Set aside half of this mixture, and pour the rest into a medium bowl. Mix cream cheese into this half until well blended.
Lay a few wonton wrappers at a time out on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each one. Pinch the corners together to make a triangle shape. If they don't stick, wet them with a little water using your finger. Set aside on a piece of waxed paper while you assemble the remaining puffs.
Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully set 5 to 10 of the dumplings in the pan. Do not over crowd the pan. Fry on each side until golden brown. Remove from the hot oil using tongs and place on paper towels to drain. Serve on a platter with the reserved cranberry relish as a dipping sauce. The sooner you eat them, the better they taste.
If you'd rather, you can bake them for for 15 minutes at 375. Turn them over and bake for 5 more minutes.
Last Word
Weekly this 'n' that
We're still collecting both essentials and goodies to send to SSgt Latessa Bortner in Saudi Arabia. So far, the response has been wonderful- you've donated enough for us to send four large flat rate priority boxes!
Avon consultant Ree Browning even had us find out how many women were serving with Latessa (there are five) and she sent a box stuffed full of Avon products for them. Thanks so much, Ree! BTW- Ree's having an Avon Open House each Friday and Saturday in November (9am-4pm) in her home at 6213 Browning Road in North Hall. It's a great way to get a jump on holiday shopping. Call Ree at 770-983-7235 for directions and more info.
Packages will be going out to Latessa each Wednesday so please keep the goodies coming in!
