Holiday Recipe Ideas

Somehow I missed wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!! We had a nice holiday filled with family and friends. I do have to share that we did try the Fruity Rutabaga recipe that Duane shared in our market e-mails. It was outstanding. So I think I will try and include recipes that we mail out to our market friends in this blog as well. The blog can now be your virtual Veges from the Ledges cookbook.

Fruity Rutabaga

Serves 6

4 cups peeled diced rutabagas
1/2 cup apple cider or juice
3/4 cup halved cranberries
2 apples, cored and diced
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons butter

1. Cover the rutabaga with water and boil until tender.
2. Drain well, and add all the remaining ingredients to the rutabage.
3. Simmer, stirring frequently, until well amalgamated.

We found this tasty, but did have the debate over the Thanksgiving dinner table if this should be eaten cold or warm. The consensus was it should be eaten cold. That's what we did with the leftovers and we loved it that way. Give it a try and let us know what you think!!!
