mmmmmmmmmm makes a person hungry!!!

Just a quick question...what's the best brand/type of gravy mix to get for going over mashed potatoes & the turkey?  Gravy granules?  Mix from a satchet?  Thanks!

Bisto 'roasted onion' gravy granules are not bad...

[sacrelige on] I found a recipe for crockpot pork with cranberry and oranges, so I am going to do that on Thanksgiving, with pumpkin pie, green bean casserole. [/sacrelige off] It'll be my nod to Thanksgiving, without having to do the big meal.

Sacrilege or not, i think it sounds really nice.
I cant stand turkey, so if i was going to make a big holiday meal, i would choose pork as well ! 

3 - 4 lbs pork loin
salt & black pepper to taste
1 cup whole cranberry sauce
2 oranges, peeled, seeded & chopped, with their juice

Brown the loin in the broiler at 350F/177C for approx 20 mins
Put in crockpot and sprinkle with S&P to taste
Combine cranberry sauce & oranges with juice in a bowl, mixing thoroughly
Pour mixture over roast pork in crockpot
Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours, or until pork is tender.
If possible, turn meat once or twice during cooking time.


Sounds easy enough, though it means getting started early!

That sounds really delicious!!  Maybe not for Thanksgiving (I'm a die-hard traditionalist), but sounds great for any other meal, yum.

Turkey crown
Mashed potatoes
Steamed carrots
Stuffing
Green beans
Corn on the cob (if I can find some)
Corn bread
Cranberry sauce (the kind in the can)
Gravy 

I'm going to zest up the veg, but not sure how yet

Then of course
Apple pie
Pumpkin pie

both with ice cream and custard

Sacrilege or not, i think it sounds really nice.

at one point last year I posted a lovely recipe for cranberry and orange compote or jelly.
It is really nice if anyone wants to make it

I make a similar one at Christmas, MeShell -- mine has orange zest and Grand Marnier in it. It's so yummy!

mine has orange zest but it has brown sugar and red wine vinegar and a cinnamon stick
it is lovely

I am take a jar home with me

I made loads of jars of it several years ago when I gave away homemade goody baskets for Xmas

it taste even nice when you know you have made it doesn't it?

These menus sound so good!  Oh, to make the rounds and try it all......
