Easy Cole Slaw Recipe

 

This is a really yummy recipe for a summer time staple - Cole Slaw.  Although, we eat it year round, I thought it would be a good summertime share!  Quick and easy to make, very few ingredients, and everyone LOVES it!  We love it paired with BBQ pulled pork sandwiches.....I'll have to share that recipe with you sometime as well.

So here's what you need:

A bag of pre cut cole slaw - love this stuff.  It makes this recipe very quick and easy.  Vinegar - I like the apple cider, mayo, sugar and black pepper.

Dump the cole slaw in a bowl and set aside

In a smaller bowl, add 2/3 Cup mayo

1/4 Cup sugar

2 Tblsp vinegar

 

stir until well blended and smooth

 

add black pepper to taste

stir to blend in again

now at this point, you can taste the sauce to determine if you need more vinegar or pepper.  This is the perfect blend for me, but adjust as needed to your taste!  Pour over cole slaw

Stir well to completely distribute the sauce.  It will seem a little dry at first, but the cabbage will start to reduce a little and it will be easier to stir and mix.  This is fabulous on BBQ sandwiches or just by itself as a side dish.  Enjoy!

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

I know what you're probably thinking....."Thanksgiving is over!"

Well, that may be true, but this recipe is soooo yummy and good all year round.  It's hard for me to eat ham or turkey without it anymore.  It's also good with pork chops and chicken.  Even if you think you don't like cranberry sauce, you have to give this one a try.  It's such an easy peasy recipe, you can make a big batch and keep it in the refrigerator for when you need it.  I've never tried to freeze it, but if anyone tries it, please let me know how it works out!

In a baking dish, combine 4 Cups fresh cranberries, 2 Cups sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.  Give it a little stir.

Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

I forgot to cover mine, so a lot of my cranberries didn't burst......don't do that :o)

Next stir in a 13 oz jar of orange marmalade, 1 Cup coarsely chopped walnuts and 2 Tablespoons lemon juice.

 

That's it!  It's such a beautiful rich color!  You can serve it warm, cold or room temperature.

I always make extra and jar it to give to friends and neighbors for gifts a day or two before Thanksgiving - or the day of, if I'm unorganized like I was this year!

You have to make this right now!  Let me know how you like it!
