The Menu

Fennel-Sausage Stuffing Fennel has a white bulb, stalks like celery, feathery green tops, and a mild, licoricelike flavor.

Cranberry Conserve Give tradition a twist with this ruby sauce that combines cranberries with caramelized onions and pecans.

Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Torte This heavenly torte uses nuts and graham crackers instead of flour.

Apple-Cranberry Streusel Pie Look for dried cranberries in specialty food stores or in the gourmet food aisle of your grocery store.

Dilly Buns These rolls make up twice as fast as traditional yeast rolls because they need only one short rising.

Potatoes and Carrots Au Gratin Thinly slice the potatoes for this company-special side dish the easy way -- with a food processor.

Holiday Citrus Salad If blood oranges are available in your supermarket, use them for even more color. Shred enough orange peel for the dressing before peeling the oranges.

Vegetable Strudel A showy but simple dress-up for frozen vegetables.
