Do you have a Christmas recipe you're willing to share?

Question

Every year, it's the some old things (granted the family loves my cooking ) but I'd like to try some new recipes. If you have any leads to sites or recipes, I'd really appreciate it.

Answer 1

This is a Yummy Appetizer.....My family enjoys this every Christmas Eve!

SUE's ALMOND PINECONE DIP:
1 1/4 cups whole natural almonds
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup mayonnaise
5 crisply cooked bacon slices, crumbled
1 Tablespoon chopped green onion
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Assorted Crackers for serving
Spread almonds in a single layer in shallow pan or cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 15 minutes, stirring often, until almonds just begin to turn color. Combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise; mix well. Add bacon, onion, dill and pepper; mix well. Cover and chill overnight. Form cheese mixture into shape of pinecone on serving platter. Beginning at narrow end, press almonds at a slight angle into cheese mixture in rows. Continue overlapping rows until all cheese is covered. Garnish with artificial or real pine sprigs that have been cleaned. Serve with assorted crackers.

Answer 2

I've made this for the last 10 yrs for the holidays. Everyone loves it and I never have any leftovers.

Cranberry Mousse

20 ounces crushed pineapple
1 cup water
6 ounces cranberry gelatin
16 ounces whole cranberry sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
8 ounces sour cream
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Drain the pineapple, reserving the liquid. Add the liquid and water to the gelatin in saucepan and stir. Boil until the gelatin dissolves; remove from the heat.

Pour the gelatin into a large Pyrex serving bowl. Blend in the cranberry sauce, lemon juice, grated peel and nutmeg. Chill until the mixture thickens slightly, then blend in the sour cream. Fold in the pineapple and pecans. Chill until firm, about two to four hours, or overnight.

Answer 3

My mom started serving pork ribs. While everyone else was bringing turkey and ham, the ribs went faster than santa on his sleigh.

She just cooks them all day at 250 and then serves up one dish of seasoned only and one with the old BBQ sauce. But the slow cook has the meat falling off the bone, literally!!! Its great!!

Season heavily with onion powerder, garlic poweder and basil. A little water in the bottom. THen cover with foil. Use your favorite BBQ sauce if so desired.

Now... if you have to go somewhere for christmas, cook them on 250, all night. Longer you cook pork, the more tender it becomes.
