Cranberry Relish

4 c cranberries

1 lg orange (rind and all)

2 c sugar

Put through food processor or blender till smooth. Can add chopped walnuts.

Let stand several hours.

Waldorf Salad

diced apples (leave skin on)

half as much diced celery

chopped walnuts

Toss with Miracle Whip. Can add grapes.

Lemon Meringue Pie

1 1/2 c sugar

5 1/3 T cornstarch

1 1/2 c water

3 egg yolks, lightly beaten

3 T butter

1/4 c lemon juice

1 1/2 T grated lemon rind

1 cooked pie shell (hope I can make a good one)

Mix the sugar and cornstarch in saucepan (or bowl if microwaving).

Gradually stir in water, cook over moderate heat until mixture thickens and

boils stirring constantly ( I cook it 2 min at a time in the microwave,

stirring between resetting, on high till it thickens and boils). Boil one

min. Remove from heat, stirring till smooth and add the butter, juice and

rind. Pour into shell. Cover with meringue and bake at 400 till delicate

brown (about 8-10 min.)

Meringue

3 egg whites

1/4 t cream of tartar

6 T sugar

1/2 t vanilla (optional)

Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar till frothy. Continue beating egg

whites, adding sugar 1 T at a time till stiff and glossy. Pile onto pie

filling, carefully sealing the meringue onto the edge of the pie shell to

prevent shrinking. Swirl or pull to points to make decorative. Bake at 400,

cool gradually, in a slightly warm place, away from drafts.

We're doing a deep fried turkey this year. These are surprisingly not in

any way greasy, and very juicy. Don't know about stuffing yet. And we'll

have sweet potatoes cooked with brown sugar and butter, mashed potatoes,

rolls (hopefully can come up with good ones), green beans fixed with bacon

and onions, microwaved broccoli with lemon juice. I'm going to try the

pumpkin pie just listed by Lis. And some apple pie topped with a crumb

topping (calls for 1/2 c butter, 1/2 c brown sugar and 1 c flour, maybe

tapioca starch?)

Looking forward to others reply on this!
