Mix It Up With Jenny - Sweet Ways to Celebrate the Season

(Family Features) - Some people may have visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads during this time of year, but I have other sweet things on my mind. It's such a fun time of year to bake cakes, breads and cookies and share them with friends and family! Here are a few ways you can celebrate the season by baking:

Host a Cookie Exchange - This is a great way to bring different families together for an afternoon or evening of fun. Everyone brings at least a dozen of their favorite holiday cookies to share. Then they can all create their own delectable cookie plate from all the yummy treats available.

Have a Family Baking Night - Get everyone involved in the holiday fun by baking up some special cookies together. Let the kids help make some simple sugar cookies, and then set out a bunch of toppings like sprinkles, chocolate morsels, colored sugars and frosting. Everyone can express their inner artist and create their own cookie masterpiece.

Make a Special Plate for Santa - Santa does work up an appetite on his big night, so putting out a plate of cookies is a good idea. You can use a special Christmas plate, one of your own pretty dishes, or even let the kids make one by decorating a paper plate with pictures and messages for Santa. Giving him some of these chocolate-studded Mini Chip Snowball Cookies will certainly put a smile on his face!

You can use any apples you have for this recipe. If you use Delicious Apples, be sure to reduce the Sugar Amount. Taste...Taste..Before you Bake!


Food apples for eating fresh are: Macintosh, Macoun, Red and Golden Delicious and Cortland apples.

Choose firm, well shaped apples without bruises.
Small quantities of apples should be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. In the fruit bowl on the counter, put only apples that will be eaten within 5 days. The rest should be kept cold.
Be sure that there are some air holes in the bag to keep the apples from mushing.

If you have large quantities of apples, store in a dark, cool place such as a cellar or root cellar.
