Another use for cranberries. A fast, easy recipe a busy person can crank out in volume for holiday tables.....and for giftng to neighbors and friends instead of cookie trays. A Rachel Ray recipe. Five-Minute White Chocolate Fudge Christmas Wreath w/ Cranberries and Pistachios

FIRST Grease a round layer cake pan. Center in pan, empty condensed milk can wrapped w/ saran.

Melt on low heat 12 oz package white/chocolate/chips, cup white/chocolate/chips, 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, tea vanilla.

When melted, add 1-1 1/2 c unsalted pistachios, 1/2 c dried sweetened cranberries, stir well (will stick and burn if not stirred constantly).

Pour into greased pan around can. Top will be bumpy.

Decorate in Christmas holly shapes w/ candied red/green cherries halves. Or use candies like red and green MnM's. Cool/set in refridge.

TO GIVE AS GIFT Liftout of pan. Place in cellophane bag and tie with bow.

VARIATIONS Can also use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, peanut butter, or butterscotch chips.
