Hi All, I made a recipe for Thanksgiving that came out well but was all red. Now, I'd like to replicate it for Christmas but add in some green. (The Thanksgiving recipe was fresh cranberries soaked in simple syrup and then rolled in granulated sugar.) Can anyone think of a green berry (or similar) that I can do the same thing with so that I can serve both red and green together in one candy dish? I was thinking green grapes but not sure if those would turn out well because of they are already juicy and their skins are kind of tough. Any other ideas? Thanks!

I received a slow cooker a week ago. A slow cooker cook recipe book from the library has a recipe for creamy chicken pot pie soup........"1 -- 1 1/2 pounds cooked chicken cut up......add ingredients to the slow cooker. Cover....cook 5 - 6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through." Well.....duh... the chicken is "cocked through" before I put it in the slow cooker????? There are other chicken recipes in the book, when cooking boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs they go in raw. Why would cut up chicken need to be cooked prior to going into a slow cooker? I really hate to cook!
