The Northern Michigan holidays are upon us and with them comes the rush of family gatherings, work soirées and parties with friends. We know planning for these events can be stressful, especially when you have to bring a dish to pass. From homemade fruit preserves to desserts, here are five festive holiday dishes to pass this season.
Cranberry Orange Marmalade

This recipe is as versatile as it is tasty. Serve the stuffing in muffin tins or as a loaf. For extra flavor, add in sausage, bacon, or cheddar cheese (or all three!). It’s up to you!
