Thanksgiving

[Wayne Luke]

We usually have Turkey and Ham and all the trimmings.

The menu for this year is:
Turkey probably seasoned with fresh rosemary, sage and garlic from the garden.
Honey Smoked Ham with apple-cinnamon glaze,
Cranberry Apple Stuffing,
Fresh Cranberry Sauce,
Baked Sweet Potatos with peaches,
Ambrosia style fruit salad,
Mashed Potatoes,
turkey and ham gravy.

I'll probably make some sort of squash and a couple of other dishes for our vegetarian friends. My stuffed squash recipe is liked very well.

For desert we'll have the traditional pumpkin and apple pies and I plan on making stuffed apples as well.

My wife loves the green bean casserole so she makes that every year. The turkey is usually cooked fairly traditional but I make an apricot or apple-cinnamon glaze for the ham. The ham comes from our pig that a friend raises for us every year and another friend raises turkeys for us every year.
