[Sca-cooks] Re: Cooked for Thanksgiving

[Devra at aol.com]

        This year I tried four new things, of which three turned out very 
nice and one was dubious. The dubious one was a Weight=Watchers' cranberry sauce, 
made with raw berries, chopped dried apricots, unsweetened applesauce, and 
'spreadable fruit' orange,  cooked together. It turned out very sharp and I 
thought it was nasty. Others thought it might be improved with some sweetening, 
but I say forget it.
     The ones that worked: Lady Selene's Cream of Turnip soup from this list, 
a buttermilk spoonbread from Bon Apetit, and a fruit dressing meant to go 
with goose (also from Bon Apetit) which was my favorite: a filling of cooked 
bacon, onion, chopped tart apples, canned chestnuts, chopped celeraic, sherry, 
chicken broth, and whole prunes, cooked together and then topped with a mixture 
of cubed bread, cream, eggs, grated parmesan and seasonings. Baked until puffy. 
Very nice indeed.
