So if I don't have this cranberry jello on T-day I am seriously inconsolable.
Cranberry Salad
2 small pkgs of raspberry jello
2 cups boiling water
Dissolve jello in water but do not add any cold water
Stir in:
1 can whole cranberry sauce (be sure to use whole cranberry sauce)
1 large can of crushed pineapple (or 2 small cans) use juice and all
After the jello sets up spread the top with a mixture of one large package of cream cheese mixed with one small carton of sour cream. I usually use my mixer to beat these together so they get nice and smooth and creamy.
Top with:
A couple handfuls of chopped walnuts
This stuff is addictive!!

1 small container sour cream
1 container Cool Whip
1 bag of mini marshmellows
Mix everything together in a large bowl and refridgerate over night
I have to make this every holiday or else the kids and my brothers will pout all night!
I've started making this instead of the traditional stuffing. Everyone LOVES IT.

? cup unsalted butter (? of stick)
2 shallots, sliced
? cup white wine
6 large eggs
2? cups heavy cream (or Half & Half)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
2? cups Gruyere cheese (about 10 ounces)
2? cups Swiss cheese (about 10 ounces)

? cup fresh sage, chopped
? cup fresh marjoram, chopped
1 pound loaf of day old French bread, cut into ?? pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees convection
Butter a 7? X 11? glass baking dish
Saut? shallots in butter until soft. Add wine and simmer for about 3-5 minutes to reduce the wine to ? cup. Set aside.
Whisk eggs, cream, salt and pepper in a large bowl, add shallot wine mixture. Combine the cheese and herbs together. Add all but 1 cup cheese to the egg mixture then carefully fold in the bread pieces. Allow to stand a minimum of 1 hour.
Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese/herb mixture.
Bake bread pudding until golden and puffed, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
This can be made the day before, bring to room temperature before baking.
Serves 8
Ya know, I never use Gruyere. I have to start!
? 1 can sweet potato drained (short stubby can)
? 1 ? cup sugar
? 2 eggs
? 1 cup evaporated milk
? 2 sticks of butter or marg.
? ? teaspoon nutmeg
? ? teaspoon cinnamon
? ? cup brown sugar
? ? cup crushed cornflakes
? ? cup chopped pecans
Mix sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, 1 stick of melted butter, nutmeg and cinnamon. Beat w/electric mixer until smooth. Lightly spray a 9X12 casserole dish and pour mixture in dish. (I have found that it is easier to use a potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes before you add the other ingredients).
For topping: Mix brown sugar, crushed cornflakes, nuts, and 1 stick of melted butter together. Put on top of sweet potato mixture. Don?t worry; it will spread out as it cooks.
Bake at 350 until set for 35-40 minutes.
Alisa, what kind/size of a dish do you serve this in?
