Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Trifle in a Jar
Disclosure: This Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Trifle in a Jar post and giveaway has been sponsored by Ball Canning. All opinions are my own.
This weeks Progressive Dinner is all about holiday dessert recipes in jars. You all know how much I love Ball Canning jars. I love making preserves in them but I also love finding ways to use my Ball Canning jars for other things like this perfect fall pumpkin dessert recipe.
This Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Trifle was the hit of Thanksgiving dinner dessert. Making this Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Trifle in jar worked out perfect because my daughter hosted Thanksgiving dinner at her house. I made the pumpkin trifle in the Ball® 16oz Wide Mouth Pint Jars for the adults and made a few for the kids in the Ball® 8oz Quilted Crystal Jelly Jars.
You can find the full lineup of Progressive Dinner Desserts below along with the recipe for this Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Trifle recipe.

December 6, 2014 at 9:37 amI love making individual Boston Cream Trifle but as a gift I would put coffee beans in the jar with a small candle in the middle. When lit i would have a wonderful coffee fragrance throughout the house. Love coffee smells.
