Yes hard to believe it is just around the corner. What will everyone be doing on that day. I will be cooking my 2nd turkey dinner in my life this year. I thought I'd share a recipe that I have been asked to share over the years for cranberryrelish.
Found it in a People magazine given by Joan Lunden from Good Morning America.
1 can (20oz) crushed pineapple, drained 2 cans (16oz)ea. whole berry cranberry sauce 1 pkg.(16oz) frozen whole strawberries,thawed and drained 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Mix ingredients in a bowl and chill. Serve with Turkey or ham.

I carry on the family tradition each year, started by my mother in 1952: the “extended family Thanksgiving”. It is the Polish side of the family, as my dads side is in Ohio. My wife and I will be cooking for 45, and the menu will include:
Przekaski (Snacks): Homemade Salsa and chips Sliced vegetables and dip Almonds Chips Pretzels Rye bread for dip
Obiad (Dinner): 24.5 lb turkey 10 lb turkey breast Dressing Mashed potatoes Creamed carrots and peas Turkey Gravy Corn Corn bread Rolls Salad Yams/sweet potatoes Cranberry sauce Cranberry Jell-O Cornbread Green bean casserole
Kolacja: (Supper) Leftover obiad Rye bread, white bread Ser: zoty i bialy Kanapki: ham and turkey Pickles Olives Rye bread dip Dill dip
Desserts: all day Chrusciki Ice cream Whipped cream Pumpkin pie Apple pie Cherry pie Rice krispy treat Cheesecake Indian Pudding
Beverages: Coffee Tea Pop Water Milk Juice Zubrowka Piwo: American and Polish Wodka: Chopin and Belvedere Bourbon: Makers Mark and Knob creek Whiskey sour slushys (ciocia Jozefa’s) Scotch Old Krupnik Wisniowka
Oh, and we put up my handmade "tipi", which has my Polish family tree in artwork painted on it. The tipi recognizes the native Americanss of this continent, and the family tree, well, is self explanatory. (OK, I'm a romantic when it comes to history) Well, I may have forgotten something, but you get the idea.

JustJohn, If you wouldn't mind, I'd certainly be interested in the Indian pudding recipe. I love Indian pudding and always love reading/making old recipes.

Piwo, That is some spread you have...sounds something like the dinners we had when I was married. My ex was part Italian and they cooked 20 course meals. It was an all day affair. Then the guys went to play cards and the ladies got stuck doing the dishes.

And in Hampton, VA just across the water from us, the people are having problems with turkeys running loose. It seems a few domisticated turkeys started running loose and have gone feral and flocks of them are causing headaches to homeowners. The turkeys scratch-up cars and leave their poop all over. It would seem that a bird for Thanksgiving dinner would cost no more than an hour of catching one and preparing it for the oven. There arre some people there who like the turkeys and put out feed for them and don't mind the poop and mess they make. What a problem to have. ;D

;D New England Baked Indian Pudding - A recipe from 1743Place 1 quart scalded milk in a double boiler with 3/4 cup of cornmeal and cook for 10 to 12 minutes stirring with a whip until thick and smooth. In a roasting pan or Dutch oven mix 1and 1/2 cups of dark molasses, 1 and 1/4 cups of light brown sugar, 2 cups of raisins, 3/4 cup of butter, 2 tbs. of pure vanilla, 1 tsp. of salt, 1/2 tbs. of cinnamon, 4 eggs, 2 13 oz cans of evaporated milk and 1/2 quart of boiling water. Mix with a whip all ingredients in the pan or Dutch oven. Pour in the hot corn meal and stir until well mixed. Bake in a slow oven at 250 degrees Farenheit until golden brown, about 2 and 1/2 to 3 and 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Serve hot with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. This recipe will serve about 12 people. Note: The original recipe called for double the amounts. I made it that way the 1st time and gave quite a bit away. This variation works well. You can put it in plastic containers and freeze it. But, boy-oh-boy it is good. ;D

Perhaps in the genealogy section, or a new thread? It sound wonderful.
