	Heirloomtomato / All my dishes 2 years ago These fritters are so delicious, it's hard to believe how simple they are. There is a cararmelized orange sauce that accompanies them, but I have often cheated by just doctoring some jarred cranberry relish with oj, & herbs. Prep:30m Cook:8m Servings:4	Heirloomtom
