Michelle's Broccoli Salad
in a large bowl combine:
  • 4 cups broccoli crowns, chopped
  • 1/2 - 1 red onion, chopped (if it's strong I use the lesser amount)

  • 1/3 c bacon bits
  • 3/4 c raisins (or dried cherries or cranberries or any dried fruit mixture)
dressing:
  • 1 c mayonnaise
  • 1/2 c sugar

mix dressing well, pour over broccoli mixture, stir until coated.
 
 
 
Fern's Cherry Pie
  • 2 cups (or cans) pitted cherries in juice or water, NOT cherry pie filling or maraschino cherries, look in the canned fruit section
  • liquid from the cherries (s/b about 1/3 c) 
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract (use vanilla if necessary)
  • 1/3 c granulated sugar (Splenda can be used very successfully here)
  • 1/3 c brown sugar (the Splenda brown sugar mix is good here too)
  • 3 tbs quick cooking tapioca
  • 1 tbs butter, broken
  • 1 box refrigerated pie shells, use both packages for bottom and top
Preheat oven to 450. Combine cherries through tapioca in a large bowl and let stand for 15 minutes. Pour cherry mixture into an 8" pie shell and dot w the butter. Arrange pastry topping in a standard lattice design or use cookie cutters and arrange cut outs over pie. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes, then decrease heat to 350 for 30 minutes.
