CHRISTMAS RECIPES

Traditionally, Christmas is a time of good food.  Many of the dishes that are served at Christmas are not served any other time of the year. My children anticipated the cookies that Grandma and Mommy made and the Yule Log that Daddy produced with such great flourish every year.  Here are some recipes from our family and friends to yours.

CHRISTMAS CRANBERRY PUNCH

This punch is a favorite because it is so easy to make.  It looks Christmassy with the red liquid and green sherbet.  You can float plastic holly on top if you like.

• 1 can frozen concentrate cranberry juice
• water per can instructions
• 1 – 2 liter bottle lemon lime carbonated drink
• 1 pint lime sherbet

1. Place frozen cranberry concentrate in a container and add the suggested amount of water to make juice.
2. Place in punch bowl and add lemon lime drink
3. Add sherbet and ice ring or ice cubes

Makes 1 punch bowl

NOTE:  You can use gingerale instead of lemon lime drink.  Use unsweetened juice and diet soda and omit the lime sherbet for anyone who can’t have sugar.
