Christmas Dinner for a Crowd
Each course of this Christmas menu features a holiday classic, from the main attractions—Cider-Baked Ham and Braised Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Pecans—to the sweet finish: Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie.
-
Cider-Baked Ham
A smoky ham glazed with sweet apple cider and studded with cloves certainly sounds great, but many recipes lack apple flavor. Could we develop a simple technique that would infuse the ham with flavor more successfully?
-
Braised Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Pecans
Braising ensures these Brussels sprouts are tender without being mushy or waterlogged.
-
Cranberry-Apple-Orange Relish
Sweet, sour, bitter, and a bit spicy, this no-cook cranberry sauce works well with glazed ham.
-
Italian Spinach and Radicchio Salad
This Italian-inspired salad with festive crimson radicchio starts our favorite holiday meal.
-
Savory Corn Pudding
Unlike its sweet cousin, the addition of cheese and herbs makes this rich and creamy pudding decidedly part of dinner.
-
Grown-Up Sweet Potato Casserole
This sweet potato "pie" gets a boost from applesauce.
-
Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie
A pecan pie without corn syrup. We certainly don't miss it.
