We are baking today.
Joe sliced the apples for this apple and cranberry crumble and prepared the topping.
This is the crumble not baked yet. The cranberries are so tart I put about a quarter cup of sugar over the fruit. I do not do that with other fruit. You can find crumble recipes online. This one pictured is a mini dish and I just threw it together sans recipe.
Next in line for the oven is a Sour Cream Pound Cake from a recipe I have used for about thirty years. There was panic at the disco this morning when I thought I misplaced the recipe.
I use the juice of a lemon and it's zest in the pound cake instead of lemon flavoring.
I did not stage this photo but saw the lemon and our JOY snoglobe and thought what a cute photo that would be.
Toffee Coffee Bars are cooling on the bar right now.
Our menu for Christmas Brunch:
Sausage Cheese Grits Casserole
Hash Brown Casserole
Baked Ham and Biscuits
Fresh Fruit Salad
Sour Cream Pound Cake
Toffee Coffee Bars
Wassail
Mimosa's
Coffee and Cookies too.
Gosh, I think I forgot something but there will be plenty for eight people or more if someone drops by.
Joe, CC, and I wish you JOY where ever you may find it today.
Happy Christmas
Olive

Your menu sounds tasty. I'm having Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls, but I don't think they count as brunch. If I don't talk to you again, have a wonderful holiday!
