Sharkbait - December 13, 2024December 13, 202432

Happy weekend everyone! I'm still working through the abundance of cranberries I picked up for Thanksgiving dessert. Thankfully these little berries are fairly shelf stable and keep well when in the fridge for a long period of time. I don't want to let them go to waste so I wanted
