Ellemeno:
That recipe sounds great, Marcia.

Front-Ranger:
You posted that recipe in the cookie thread last year, Marcia, but I say it bears repeating! Thank you!!

Here is an unusual salad that I am planning to serve for Christmas dinner. My family likes beets this way much better than the Harvard Beets sweet-sour recipe. It is a Provencal recipe taught at the cooking school of Nathalie Wang at La Sara.

Raw Beet Salad La Sara

4 beets (about 1 1/2 lbs, stems discarded)
2/3 cup creme fraiche
2 T. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
2 T. chopped dried apricots

Peel the beets and grate them into a serving bowl (be sure to wear an apron for this step). Add the creme fraiche, the lemon juice, and the salt, stirring until the mixture is combined well, and sprinkle the apricots over.

You can substitute plain yogurt for the creme fraiche.

Lee, what is creme fraiche? I like beets although I understand many people don't. I never used to eat them on school lunches though. They have an unusual, but good taste in my opinion. Beet greens are good too.

Artiste:
May I repeat:

        Since you do not go to my threads on recipes nor origins of words or First Nations,
as I had no time to add such lately with death in family,
maybe some of you heard that cranberries is an First Nation food called atoka ?

Atoka Ice Cream
1 oz atoka juice
2 tbs sweet or not sweet dried cranberries (maybe whole fresh ones as I never tried that?)
3 cups 1/3 soft vanilla ice cream

Combine. Store to freeze until set.
Serve as cones or in bowl(s)

Me dire vos résultats (tell me your results) ??

Au revoir,
hugs!
