THANKSGIVING NEARS......HOW ABOUT SOME APPLE ORCHARD PUNCH!



Hey y'all! I think the shopping is done! The turkey is thawing in the fridge, the casserole dishes have been selected, the menu has been decided and the appetizer table is being prepared! Each day before Thanksgiving has been designated for particular recipes to prepare.....so I feel ready and organized!


Reserved for the ever traditional port wine cheese ball

Reserved for the summer sausage and gourmet cheeses, with a side serving of Hot Pepper Jelly

He's just so darn cute......turkey's everywhere


I am baking all the pies this year! So excited.....Wednesday will be baking day...... Cranberry Bread, Apple Pie, Cherry Pie and Pumpkin Pie! As always, Tea Time Tessies will be served also as they have been ever since I was a child. It's a Southern Tradition! This makes me miss Mother and Daddy.....what wonderful Thanksgivings we shared!
Most Thanksgivings, I serve a Mulled Wine, but this year I am making a slushy Apple Orchard Punch! I decided to serve this divine autumn beverage in a big glass canister, all dressed up for the holiday! It's going to be a great day y'all!


APPLE ORCHARD PUNCH 1 (32 fluid ounce) bottle apple juice, chilled 1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen cranberry juice concentrate




1 cup orange juice 1 1/2 liters ginger ale 1 apple
In a large punch bowl, combine apple juice, cranberry juice concentrate and orange juice. Stir until dissolved, then slowly pour in the ginger ale.
Thinly slice the apple vertically, forming whole apple slices. Float apple slices on top of punch.

Fryin' turkey at The Maine House I think everyone in the neighborhood was either very jealous, as that delicious aroma filled the air, or they were either shakin' their heads, whispering about those crazy southerners!
