BOOK TOUR

I'm happy today to be a stop on the book tour for

HOLLYBERRY HOMICIDE

Book 5 in the Berry Basket Mysteries

by Sharon Farrow

A cold wind is blowing off Lake Michigan, and murder is scaring the dickens out of everyone . . .
 
Considering her name, Marlee Jacob is an obvious choice for the role of Jacob Marley in Oriole Point’s production of A Christmas Carol. It’s just sad that the role has opened up because of the death of the elderly actor who’d originally been cast.
 
But Marlee, the proprietor of The Berry Basket, will do her best to keep spirits high—that is, until clues start mounting that there’s danger behind the scenes. There are accidents on set, the tree in the village square topples over, and worst of all, a body is found with a sprig of holly draped over it. If Marlee can’t wrap up the case, she may not have a berry merry Christmas . . .
 
Includes Berry Recipes!

STRAWBERRY GLAZED 

BAKED DONUT HOLES

Because Hollyberry Homicide takes place during the festive week leading up to Christmas, Marlee and her talented baker Theo kept the pastry case at The Berry Basket filled with holiday treats. Here are the strawberry donut holes that Marlee gave away to the children who came to see Santa Claus at her shop. You can see why this was a much better choice than the usual candy canes. And Marlee sends her regards to alattefood.com where she discovered the recipe during her weekly searches for berry desserts.

Batter

¼ cup Greek yogurt or regular 

1 egg

   1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin. 

   2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. 

   3. In a second bowl, mix melted butter with milk, almond and vanilla extracts, egg and yogurt. 

   4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour the wet ingredients into the well. 

   5. Stir gently, until just combined. Batter will be thick. 

   6. Disperse batter into muffin tins evenly, about ½ to ¾ of the way full. 

   7. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown. 

   8. To make the glaze, puree strawberries in a blender or food processor. Mix with cream and 2 cups of powdered sugar, adding an additional cup of powdered sugar if the consistency is too runny. 

   9. Dunk donut in glaze. You can dunk the entire donut, or just the top. Let glaze set before dunking a second time. Makes 24 donut holes.

finshed donut holes may look differant.
