1/3 cup Italian Salad Dressing
Pour italian dressing over warm sliced potatoes. Chill 2 hours. Add celery and
onion.
Separate egg whites from yolks, chop, and add. In small bowl, sieve yolks (I
just mash them with a fork).
Mix with mayo, sour cream, and mustard; fold into salad. Add salt and celery
seed to taste. Chill 2 hours.
Take some of the green onion stalk and pimento to decorate the top in a festive
Christmas manner. Makes 8 servings.
That's the basic recipe - since he did all the chopping, he didn't measure the
celery or onion,
so I think he used more than the recipe says (he actually used the whole bunch
of green onions).
7 med. potatoes, cooked in skins, peeled, and sliced (about 6 cups)
3/4 cup sliced celery
1/3 cup sliced green onion
4 hard boiled eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1-1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish mustard
salt to taste
celery seed to taste
Baked Spinach Casserole
Heat oven to 325 degrees
Sautéed onions and mushrooms in butter for 5 minutes. Blend in flour, salt,
pepper and nutmeg. Gradually add cream, stirring to boiling point. Taste for
seasoning. In buttered casserole, spread half the spinach; cover with half of the
mushroom sauce, then repeat. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Set in pan of hot
water.
3 Tablespoons butter
2 cups light cream
3 Tablespoons grated onion
2 packages frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 lb chopped mushrooms
3 tablespoons grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese
3 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Bake 40 minutes.
Serves 6 - 8.
Eggnog
1 teaspoon sugar
Shake with cracked ice and strain.
4 pounds boneless smoked round ham
In a deep covered pot, simmer the ham in the
cider for 2 hours. If the cider does not cover the
ham, add enough water to cover.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Drain the pot, reserving the cider. Remove any
skin from the ham. Place the ham in a shallow
baking pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining
ingredients. Take 1/2 cup of the reserved cider
and whisk into the mixture. Pour the mixture over
the ham.
Bake the ham for about 45 minutes. Baste
occasionally. Remove the ham from the oven,
slice, and serve with caramelized cider gravy
from the roasting pan.
NOTE: If the gravy is not caramelized, reduce the
liquid by stirring over high heat.
12 large navel oranges
Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing
all the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut
in between the membranes to release the
sections. Squeeze the juice from the membranes
over the oranges in the bowl.
Two to four hours before serving, stir in the
coconut, sugar, sherry and salt.
MAKE AHEAD: The recipe can be prepared
through Step 1 up to 1 day ahead.
For The Dough:
Heat the oven to 325°F. Beat the butter and
sugar together with a wooden spoon or a mixer
until creamy. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice,
and salt; mix until combined. Add the flour; mix
until just blended. Shape the dough into 1-inch
balls and set them 1 inch apart on ungreased or
parchment-lined baking sheets(or freeze them on
a baking sheet, as shown above). Bake until the
cookies are light golden and give slightly when
pressed, 18 to 20 min. Let the cookies cool
slightly on the baking sheet; while still warm, roll
them in confectioners? sugar. Transfer to a rack
to cool completely.
