I always enjoy fruit on a cheese plate. In general, though, I’m not a big fan of grapes (surprising since I love wine, and my husband is just the opposite in that he loves grapes and not wine … but I digress). Depending upon what cheeses are being served, I prefer berries, sliced apples or pears, or sliced stone fruit. Since I want to spotlight raspberries and I think berries and chevre are a lovely combination on a cheese platter, I set out to bake a savory tart using both. Sort of like a cheese plate in a crust (the cracker?). Serve this tart to jazz up a cheese course or as a light lunch with a simple green salad. - BlueKaleRoad

No Christmas or New Year would be the same without these delightful buttery and crisp shortbread biscuits! Plus, they are extremely easy to make and have very few ingredients. They are not low in calories, but they make a delicious treat at special times of the year. This family recipe is a tried and true, and is based on the Be-Ro cookbook recipe.....a real cookery institution in the UK! Shortbread biscuits can be made in a variety of shapes, including being pressed in a decorative wooden Shortbread Mould; when they are made in a round and cut into triangles, they are called "Petticoat Tails" and are a traditional Scottish wedding biscuit. Whatever the shape you decide to use - I have given a few ideas in the recipe - the taste will remain the same.....meltingly light and buttery. These make ideal gifts, and as they are made with butter, they last for quite a while. Pack them up in an attractive box, tin or cellaphane bag and attach a tartan bow and a sprig of heather for a true Scottish feel to them! Happy Hogmanay!
