Sherried Sweet Potatoes and Apples
yield: Serves 8
Ingredients 3 large sweet potatoes (or canned sweets not in syrup) 3 Granny Smith apples 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/3 cup medium-dry Sherry
Preparation In a kettle combine the sweet potatoes with enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch and boil them for 35 minutes, or until they are just tender. Drain the sweet potatoes and let them cool until they can be handled. (Or you could micro them and cool.) The sweet potatoes may be prepared in advance up to this point and kept chilled overnight. Peel the sweet potatoes, cut them lengthwise into sixths, and cut the lengths crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, core, and cut the apples lengthwise into sixths and cut the wedges crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large heavy skillet cook the apples in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until they are softened. Stir in the lemon juice, the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and the Sherry, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the apples for 3 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook the mixture, stirring gently and trying not to break up the sweet potatoes, for 2 minutes, until it is combined well and heated through. Transfer the mixture to a heated serving dish. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

These are tried and true recipes that I get asked to make every year. First thing I always make is my turkey stock - freezes beautifully. Food and Wine - Rich Turkey stock My favorite time saver - make ahead mashed potatoes: Williams Sonoma - Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes Nice twist on traditional cranberry sauce... Cranberry Cherry Relish - Sheila Lukins
1 pound fresh cranberries 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup fresh orange juice 1/2 cup cranberry juice finely grated zest of 1 orange 1 cup dried cherries Pick thru the cranberries, rinse, drain well. Combine cranberries, sugar, OJ, cranberry juice and zest in pan. Place over medium heat; boil slowly until the berries pop open - about 10 minutes. Skim the foam off the surface with a metal spoon. Stir in the cherries and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate. Will last up to one month. Have a great holiday! Evandnic

We always have to have a spinach casserole on Thanksgiving, it is rather rich so it is only done on special occassions. It also a great make ahead dish.
4 packages frozen spinach 6 oz creme cheese 1 stick butter parmesan cheese
Cook the spinach according to the package. Drain and then wring as much water out of the spinach as possible. Heat the creme cheese and butter in the microwave until soft. Mix with spinach. Add some parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Bake in a greased/buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle a little of the cheese on top of the casserole. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 325 degrees.
Everyone seems to love this dish.

Contessa, that's a lot like my stepmother's green bean casserole. If you try this one you'll never go back to mushroom soup and canned onions again!

Cook green beans according to package directions. Drain, and place into a buttered casserole dish
Melt 2 T butter in small saucepan, saute onion until just soft
Add flour to butter and onion, and stir until well combined
Add sour cream, sugar, salt, and pepper to butter mixture and cook gently until mixture bubbles and thickens slightly.
Pour sour cream mixture over green beans and mix thoroughly

Sure. But you must change a couple of steps. Cornstarch & flour are thickeners. Flour is added to melted shortening. Cornstarch must be added to a liquid to dissolve. So, I'd melt the butter, saute the onions, then add the cornstarch mixture (2T.cornstarch to 1/4 c. water or broth blended well).....cook slightly until thickened, then add the remaining ingredients. I'm sure it'll be just fine. Check out this site for cornstarch information: http://www.argostarch.com/faq.aspGood Luck!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Contessa

evandnic said: Give the cranberry relish/sauce deal a try. My hubby uses it for "jam" on cranberry bagel for the weeks following. Mmmmm... the day after Thanksgiving I love a turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce, S&P, Mayo & shreded lettuce... On a nice fresh lightly toasted Kaiser Roll (center scooped out)... my favorite part of the whole weekend meal event... well... except for maybe the pies! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

This sounds wonderful. We are having Thanksgiving with my son and fiance this year and I think I'll offer to bring the veggie and make this.

That is a great stock recipe... I like it! To make the stock even darker... Trim the root end off the onions, but leave the skins on to make the stock... doesn't add any extra flavor, but does make the stock darker in color...
using all Turkey Wings will make the stock very "silky" as the wings, esp. the tips, contain the most collagen... when we make chicken wings I trim the tips off and freeze them to use in stock when I have a bunch of them...

I made that stock last weekend and froze it to use for my 2 Thanksgiving dinners next week. Way better than store bought, that's for sure.
