Cranberry Pop-Tarts
Start by making the cranberry filling. Add frozen cranberries (do not thaw), sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and spices in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 15-20 minutes until liquid is almost gone. Whisk 2 tsp. of cornstarch with 2 tsp. of cold water until combined and slowly add it to the cranberry mixture. Stir until it thickens, remove from heat and let cool. Place in the refrigerator until cool.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Using the 2 thawed puff pastry sheets, cut each sheet into 6 rectangles, 12 in total. Fill half of the rectangles (6) with 2 tablespoons of cranberry filling. Egg wash the edges of the filled sheets. Lay the remaining 6 rectangles on top of the filling and seal using a fork. Egg wash the tops and place in the oven on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
While pop-tarts cook make your glaze. Whisk together powedered sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Remove pop-tarts from the oven and allow to cool. Glaze tops and top with sprinkles and enjoy!

Cranberry Goat Cheese Parfait
Easy No Bake Recipe!
As you know Cape Cod Select loves working with talented food bloggers like Maria of Sweet Fix Baker to create new and exciting recipes for you! This recipe is perfect for any event and is so easy to make. You don’t even need to turn your oven on! And how good does Cranberry Goat Cheese Parfait’s sound?
1. In a medium sized sauce pan, combine cranberries, sugar, 1/4 cup of water, lime zest, lime juice and vanilla extract. Turn heat to medium high and let the ingredients cook for 8-10 minutes, until sugar is dissolved and cranberries release their juice. Cranberries need to be soft, but not mushy. Add the cornstarch diluted in water, mix and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Let cool completely before assembling your parfait. Compote will thicken as it cools.
2. Freeze a metal bowl and whisk attachment for 10 minutes. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and set aside.
3. Beat the softened goat and cream cheese on medium speed, until smooth and creamy, making sure no lumps are left. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt and mix until well incorporated. Fold in whipped cream with a spatula. Refrigerate while doing the rest of the recipe.
4. Mix all of the graham cracker crumbs, crushed walnuts and butter until butter covers everything and mixture resembles wet sand.
5. To assemble, place a layer of graham cracker crumb mix, then place on top a layer of goat cheese cheesecake. To top, add a layer of cooled cranberry compote.
Notes
1. Remove cream cheese and goat cheese from the fridge 1 hour prior to using
2. Let the Cranberry compote cool completely before assembling. You can make the Cranberry compote up to 3 days ahead of time and store covered in the fridge, so it’s completely cooled before using.
