This looks wonderful! I hope I'll have time to try it this Christmas.
But what I wanted to tell you is that I absolutely love that fruit blend, by the way...it's good in so many things. I even mix it with instant couscous for a side dish.
And that nonstick mat. I am in LOVE with that mat. I bought it a couple of years ago so I could try my hand at making pie crusts (still haven't done that!) but it is INCREDIBLY good for rolling out sugar cookies, or rugelach. Instead of struggling with a floured counter and sticky dough, the dough rolls and the cookies lift off perfectly. I wanted to tell you that, too! :)
Audrey, thanks for your enthusiasm about the fruit blend, and the mat - two of my favorites, too. And I never thought of adding the fruit blend to couscous - though I do add smoked almonds and M&Ms to the fruit for a GREAT trail mix... PJH
