In response to this request I received some wonderful recipes. I'd

like to share them with you:

 

Fresh Fruit Ambrosia

 

4 oranges, peeled and sectioned

½ fresh ripe pineapple, peeled and chunked

2 apples, thinly peeled and cubed

1 whole ripe cantaloupe or honeydew, halved and made into balls

½ can frozen orange juice concentrate

1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Freshly grated coconut (optional)

 

Toss fresh fruit together in a large bowl. Add orange juice

concentrate and pecans. Serve salad in individual bowls with grated

coconut sprinkled on top.

 

-------------------------

 

Waldorf Salad

 

4 apples, diced

2 cups chopped celery

¼ cup raisins

¼ cup chopped nuts

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

 

Combine apples, celery, raisins, and nuts into large bowl. Sprinkle

lemon juice into salad, toss well.

 

--------------------------

 

Baked Harvest Vegetables

 

4 cups varietal non-sparkling white wine or pink grape juice

3 cups unpeeled yams cut into 1½-inch chunks

3 cups carrots, cut into 1½-inch slices

3 cups parsnips, cut into 1½-inch slices

3 cups onions, cut into 1½-inch wedges

2 cups water

3 cups celery, cut into 1½-inch slices

1/3 cup water

5 Tbsp. arrowroot

¼ cup fresh parsley, minced

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place the first 6 ingredients into a

stainless steel or cast iron pot. Cover with a tight fitting lid and

bake for 60 minutes. Add celery. Continue baking for 30 minutes more.

Remove from oven. Place pot on medium heat on stove and bring to a

boil. Mix 1/3 cup water and arrowroot together until smooth. Pour

into vegetable mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens and

becomes clear. Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley

Super Coleslaw

Source: The Food Processor Bible

 

I've made this family favorite for years - it's a winner! The hot

marinade keeps the coleslaw mixture crisp. For a colorful slaw, use a

mixture of red and green cabbage.

 

Coleslaw Mixture

1 head cabbage (about 3 lbs.)

1 green pepper, cut in chunks

3 carrots (or 12 mini carrots)

2 cloves garlic

3 green onions, cut in chunks

 

Marinade

1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar

1/2 cup sugar (see Note)

3/4 cup oil

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

 

Slicer: Discard soft, outer leaves. Cut cabbage into wedges to fit

feed tube. Discard core. Slice, using very light pressure. If too

thick, chop in batches on the Steel Blade, using quick on/off pulses.

Slice green pepper, using medium pressure. Empty into a large bowl.

 

Grater: Use the mini tube if your machine has one. Grate carrots,

using firm pressure. Add to cabbage.

 

Steel Blade: Drop garlic and green onions through feed tube while

machine is running; process until minced. Add to cabbage.

 

Combine ingredients for marinade in a saucepan or microsafe bowl.

Heat until almost boiling (2 to 3 minutes on HIGH in the microwave),

stirring occasionally. Pour hot marinade over coleslaw mixture and

mix well. Refrigerate.

 

Yield: 12 to 16 servings.

 

Note: Keeps about 1 month in the refrigerator. Coleslaw won't keep as

long if sweetener is used instead of sugar. Some sweeteners become

bitter when heated. Splenda is heat-stable and can be used with

excellent results.

 

Broccoli Cole Slaw: Replace cabbage with packaged broccoli slaw, or

shred peeled broccoli stems on the Grater, using firm pressure. Add a

handful of raisins or dried cranberries, if desired.
