Michelle's Broccoli
Salad
in a large bowl combine:

chopped

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

wine vinegars or rice vinegars are really good)

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.
