Thanksgiving Recipes
If you are like me, you are always looking for something different to spice up your Thanksgiving table. I will share my family's favorite recipe---Thanksgiving Day could not happen at our house without this on the table. You have to make it a day ahead, but it's so refreshing with turkey.
Cranberry Salad
1 package whole fresh cranberries
1 whole orange
1/2 peeling of orange
1 stalk celery
1/2 to 1 cup English walnuts
1 to 2 cups sugar, to your preferred taste
2 packages (small) Red Rasperry Jello
Grind the first five ingredients together. (If you do not have a grinder, chop in a food processor).
Add the sugar to the mixture, and put into Red Raspberry Jello made as directed on the package.
P.S. If you chop the fruit in a food processor, use 1 cup less water when making Jello.
Put in 9x13 Pyrex dish and put in refrigerator overnight to set.
Here's another recipe that I haven't tried, but I saw it in a magazine, and thought it sounded really good, especially if you love sweet potatoes like I do.
Apricot-Sweet Potato Mash
2-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup apricot preserves
Salt and pepper to taste
Place sweet potatoes in a large pot; add enough cold water to cover by an inch. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until tender---about 15 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot. Add next four ingredients, and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in preserves until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If potatoes seem a little dry, add a little more milk. Makes 8 servings.
