DRIED APRICOT, CHERRY AND CRANBERRY INFUSION
Whenever I soak dried fruit in hot water, to plump it for another recipe, I am always reluctant to throw out the soaking water because it tastes so good. I decided to simmer dried fruit with sweet spices and orange to obtain a delicious infusion that I would decidedly not throw out. A great beverage for a snowy day.

SPIRITED CRANBERRY APRICOT SAUCE
This recipe is from Cooking Light. I make it every year for the holidays, plus extra to freeze for serving later with roasted chicken. I've given the directions as in the original recipe; however, to save time I let the apricots stand about 30 minutes rather than 8 hours. I just throw it all in the pot and cook, then refrigerate the sauce overnight. I like it because it's not too sweet and since my children love to eat it, I use orange juice rather than sherry.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries and apricots. This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use frozen or dried fruit, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Simmer the sauce until it has thickened. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Don't boil the sauce, or it will become too thick.

- Serve the sauce warm or cold. It is delicious either way.
- Use the sauce on pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream. It is also a great addition to roasted chicken or pork.
