Our Annual Holiday Tea after Thanksgiving

 As the Thanksgiving holiday ends, thus begins the season of holiday teas in Sweet Remembrances. Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving have traditionally been a favorite time to begin the festive holiday season with a relaxing Afternoon Tea. The tea room is decorated with tabletop trees, colorful poinsettias adorn the shelves, and the collection of culinary Santa's are gathered in the hallway. The holiday tea cups are out of storage, and are in full service now through the end of the month.
Our first holiday tea began with an Apple Cranberry Salad that included assorted greens, fresh red and green apples, craisins, honey roasted almonds, feta cheese, and a fresh cranberry apple dressing.

An array of sandwiches included Cranberry Chicken Salad, Goat Cheese with Sun Dried Tomatoes topped with a Christmas tree cutout, Melted Brie, Pecan and Apple Crostini, Roast Beef with Horseradish butter on Pumpernickel, and an Artichoke Pistachio Pesto.
The scone course featured our Traditional English Cream Scone coupled with a Gingerbread Scone served with sweet cream and lemon curd. Fresh fruit rounded out the plate. The dessert course featured a White Cake with Orange Buttercream and Cranberry Topping, a Buttery Pistachio Cookie, and a frosted Eggnog Cookie. Yum!
