Yield: Serves 4 Contributed to the FareShare Gazette by Art; 23 November 2009. www.fareshare.net ---> I have come to love a soft goat cheese (chevre) that is coated with dried cranberries which we have been getting in Costco here. I think it would be easy to make your own using a log of plain chevre and rolling it in either plain or lightly sweetened dried cranberries. (I think it is especially yummy spread on a Dad's oatmeal cookie. <G> ) H. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 106 Calories; trace Fat (0.4% calories from fat); trace Protein; 27g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 0mg Cholesterol; 1mg Sodium.
