Name: Festive Tea Sandwiches
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayonnaise; 1/3 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries; 2 tablespoons chopped pecans; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 16 slices bread, crusts removed; 16 to 24 thin slices cooked chicken; 8 lettuce leaves

These delicate sandwiches were the memorable first course at a Victorian tea we held for the ladies of our congregation. A spread that combines mayonnaise, pecans and cranberries is the perfect complement of the chicken.

Editor's Note: Chive butter may be used in place of the cranberry mayonnaise. Beat 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine, 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper until fluffy; stir in 2 tablespoons minced chives.

Sugared Cranberries

Heat 3 tablespoons light corn syrup in microwave until warm; gently toss with 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, allowing excess syrup to drip off. Toss in 1/3 cup sugar to coat. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set, about 1 hour.
