CRANBERRY PARFAITS
I found a recipe for lime parfaits online. This recipe has gotten me a lot of praise. I was racking my brain for a Thanksgiving dessert and tried several different ways to create a variation of the lime parfait. I tried pomegranate and cranberry juice first, both 100%. They were too wet. So, I had a light in my head go off and thought I should try cranberry sauce instead. It worked so well! I even added it to the real whipped cream I whipped up and it was delicious.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for parfaits. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Make sure the yogurt is cold. Cold yogurt will help to keep the parfait chilled and refreshing.
- Layer the parfait in a clear glass or jar. This will allow you to see all the layers of the parfait and make it more visually appealing.
- Don't overfill the parfait glass. Leave some room at the top so that you can add a garnish, such as a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of granola.
- Serve the parfait immediately. Parfaits are best enjoyed fresh, so don't make them ahead of time.
