A Thanksgiving Dessert Recipe From The Best Christmas Blog

Yesterday I gave you a Thanksgiving ham recipe. Today on The Best Christmas Blog I want to give you a dessert recipe to go with it. Thanksgiving and cranberries seem to go together. Well, here's a different way to serve cranberries. How about as a pudding.

This is a baked cranberry pudding recipe that I hope you will enjoy.

Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs, separated
half cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
half teaspoon ground nutmeg
1and half cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon baking powder
half teaspoon cream of tartar, divided
One eighth teaspoon salt
3 cups coarsely chopped fresh cranberries
One fourth cup butter or margarine, melted

Topping :
1 and half cups sugar
half cup orange juice
2 and half cups whole cranberries

Preparation:
In a bowl, combine brown sugar and egg yolks, then add whipping cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, orange peel, baking powder, quarter teaspoon cream of tartar and salt. Add chopped cranberries; stir to completely coat. Add brown sugar mixture and butter; mix well. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add the remaining cream of tartar. Fold into batter. Pour into a greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, for topping, bring sugar and orange juice to a boil in a saucepan. Cook for 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat; add cranberries and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until berries begin to burst. Remove from heat and cover.

When pudding tests done, place spring form pan on a jelly roll pan. Spread warm cranberry sauce over top. Return to the oven for 10 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing sides of springform pan. Cool at least 1 hour or overnight. Before serving, reheat at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.

The Best Christmas Blog's Best Thanksgiving Recipe

With Thanksgiving right around the corner I thought I'd bring you a good Thanksgiving recipe here on The Best Christmas Blog. I wanted to break away from the traditional turkey recipe that you see all over the place so I decided to give you ham recipe with a little difference.

This is a baked ham recipe with a fruit marinade. This recipe will serve 10 to 12 people. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 cups fresh Pineapple, chopped
1 1/2 cups Baking Apple, chopped
2 Oranges, peeled, sectioned, and chopped
1/4 cup fresh Basil, minced
2 Tbs. Onion, finely chopped
2 Tbs. fresh Lime Juice
1/4 tsp. ground Cumin
1/8 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
4-lb. cooked boneless Ham
Preparation :
Prepare the fruit mixture, combining the pineapple, apple, oranges, basil, onion, lime juice, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days, and be sure to allow ham to marinate for at least 4 hours prior to baking and serving.

Place ham on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Score the top in a diamond pattern. Insert a meat thermometer. Bake, uncovered, in a 325-F degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until thermometer registers 140-F degrees.

To serve, slice ham and pour a hearty line of the fruit mixture over the row of slices. You may serve any leftover fruit mixture as a compote, on the side.

The Best Christmas Blog 2009

Well it's time again to open “The Best Christmas Blog”. This year as always there will be Christmas recipes, free Christmas activities for the kids and adults, funny videos and more.

This year I also want to do something a little different and that is offer gift ideas. If you look at my sidebar you will see a section at the top that has gift ideas. In this first post of 2009 I want to start with a gift idea.

One of the most popular items around this year is the netbooks. I just got me one and I absolutely love it, as a matter of fact I'm using it to write this post.

The netbook I have is the Acer Aspire and so far it has been great. It's lightweight and small and I take it with me whenever I need to.

You can get the Acer AOD250-1695 10.1-Inch Netbook with Windows 7 Starter at Amazon for $299 right now.

If you're looking for the perfect gift for someone special you can't go wrong with the Acer Aspire. You even want to get one for yourself and really make this your best Christmas.
