4 Delightful Holiday Dishes Perfect to Cook and Hold
The holidays can be a hectic time. Even apart from the busyness of the season, those of us who work in foodservice find our time-stretched even thinner. Not only must we keep up with all the expected shopping, outings, and activities; but we must also prepare delicious food for parties, get-togethers, and holiday-themed meals.
To help you prepare for the season, we've put together a helpful list from which to choose.
4 Delightful Holiday Dishes Perfect to Cook and Hold
This recipe for Honeyed Ham with Pears and Cranberries offers perhaps the most seasonal of its type.
Baked pears and cranberries provide a balance of sugar and acidity. The ham is infused with cloves, and a warm glaze of cider, cinnamon, ginger, and honey draws out the meat's smoky-sweet flavor.
For a side that's tasty as well as visually seasonal, consider these Orange-Ginger and Chile-Glazed Carrots. The mild carrot flavor, enhanced with ginger and a sweet glaze, will pair well with both light and dark meats.
This Braised Cabbage with Apple and Bacon may not be the healthiest way to consume cabbage, but it's hands-down the most delicious. Because some of the ingredients must be separately prepared before they're combined and cooked, this is one of the more labor-intensive options on this list. We promise, however, that you'll find your work well rewarded.
What could be more homey and filling than this amazing Cornbread Dressing? Packed with savory herbs and loaded with flavor, this is the perfect complement to any holiday entree.
