The holidays are just around
the comer. Want something a
little different to prepare for
Thanksgiving dinner? With
Chanukah coming early this
year, you might want to try
some new recipes for your
Chanukah parties. Both of the
poultry recipes are from the
Fabulous Favorites ala B’nai
B’rith Women, published by
Charlotte Chapter BBW in the
early ’70s.
BLUEBERRY DUCK
1 salted cut-up duck
V? cup brown sugar
V2 cup blackberry wine
1 can blueberries, drained
(save V2 cup juice)
Place duck on rack in pan; prick skin. Bake in 325" preheated
oven about 2 hrs. Turn every half hour to drain fat. Remove
from oven when brown; place in covered casserole. Heat
together brown sugar, wine and blueberry juice in saucepan.
Pour warm sauce over duck. Add blueberries, cover and place
in oven 20 min., turning once. Serve with wild rice. Will feed
4 persons.
— Judy Gaynor
MOTHER’S TASTY TURKEY
2 chopped onions
3-4 carrots, cut or whole
4-5 chopped celery stalks
2-3 crushed garlic cloves
1 tbs. rendered chicken fat
1 turkey, any size
Combine onions, carrots, celery, garlic and chicken fat in
roaster. Saute on stove for 20 min. at low heat. Add turkey and
giblets. Cover roaster; bake in 300® preheated oven for 4 to 5
hours (until done, depending on size of turkey). Before turkey
is done, drain fat from pan; add 1 cup water. Cover; continue
cooking to render pure turkey gravy. This recipe may also be
made with chicken or roasts.

Traditional Chanukah foods are prepared in oil in remembrance
of the miracle of the oU in the Temple in Jerusalem liberated
by the Maccabees. Traditionally in the Western world we have
always regarded potato pancakes as the quintessential
Chanukah food, but in Israel they opt for “sufganiot”
(jelly doughnuts).
ISRAELI SUFGANIOT
1 egg
3 tbs. sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
5 tbs. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
“A tsp. grated lemon rind
oil for deep frying {4-8 cups}
confectioners sugar
Beat egg and sug£u*. Add remaining ingredients. Mix until
smooth. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pot until very hot. Drop
tablespoons of dough in pot and cook on medium heat until
brown — about four at a time. Sprinkle with confectioners
sugar. Makes 10*12 doughnuts.
RASPBERRY SQUARES
cup margarine
^ cup sugar
i egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pinch salt
2 cups plus 2 tbs. flour
Vi cup chopped walnuts
1 10-oz. jar raspberry jam
or jelly

well (by hand). Add 2 cups of flour, add nuts. Batter will be thick
Spread out in lightly greased 9" x 13" baking pyrex pan. Pat

of jam. Spread jam with spatula. Mix 2 tbs. flour with remain
ing batter. Add a little cinnamon if desired. Put dabs over jam
