Christmas dinner
My daughter and I decided to try ALL new recipes for Christmas dinner (
![]() Cornish game hens crockpot macaroni & cheese green beans with ham hocks twice baked sweet potatoes corn casserole dressing cranberry freeze Jefferson Davis pie cake (can't remember the name, daughter is making it) Here is the cranberry freeze recipe - sounds good to me, has anyone made it before? 12 oz cream cheese 4 T mayonaise (not miracle whip) 4 T sugar 2 cans whole cranberry sauce 2 (9 oz) cans crushed pineapple - drained 1 cup pecans chopped 2 cups whipped cream Blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, sugar. Add fruit and nuts, fold into whipped cream. Pour in two loaf pans, cover with plastic, and freeze 6 hours. Thaw 15 mins before serving. Jefferson Davis Pie I've eaten this at Luby's cafeteria - I THINK this is the recipe, I HOPE so - but many Jeff Davis recipes do not have raisins and pecans, which Luby's pie does have. I finally found this one that does have raisins - so I'm hoping it tastes the same! 1 baked pie shell 1/2 cup butter 2 cups light brown sugar 4 egg yolks 2 T flour 1 t. cinnamon 1/2 t. allspice 1 t. nutmeg 1 cup cream or evaporated milk 1/2 cup dates - chopped 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup pecans - broken into small pieces Preheat oven to 325. Cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in 4 eggs yolks. Mix togetehr flour and spices. Stir in cream, dates, raisins, and nuts. Bake till set, about 30 mins. It calls for a meringue top, but Luby's doesn't have meringue, and I don't like it.
