Thanksgiving Favorites

MOM'S STUFFING

4 Loaves of bread (white & wheat) broken up into pieces.

Saute:
4 Onions Diced
6 Stalks Celery Diced
2 sticks of butter

Combine:
1 Can Chicken Broth
1 tsp. Sage
1 tsp. Poultry Seasoning
(Whisk together)in a big measuring bowl so its easy to pour.

Directions:
In a big, deep, aluminum baking pan, combine bread & sauteed veggies. Pour broth and seasonings over stuffing, mix well. Bake in oven until browned on top. So much better than STOVE TOP! I have even added chopped apples and craisins to this and it is SO DELICIOUS!

GRANDMA INGERSOLL'S ORANGE CANDIED YAMS

6 medium size Yams cut into 3rds with skin left on
Boil until tender (not soggy)Skins will come right off.
Arrange in a deep baking dish

Sauce:
3 Tbsp butter melted
1 C Orange Juice
1/3 C Brown Sugar

Whisk together 1/2 C White Sugar and 1/2 Tbsp Cornstarch (mix well)
Combine with sauce to thicken until the right consistency and pour over yams. Cover nd bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Then uncover and bake 15 min. longer.

These are sooo amazing and its the sauce that makes them taste so heavenly! I dare anyone that hates yams to try these...I can pretty much guarantee you won't be a hater anymore!
