GOLDIE'S CORNBREAD STUFFING (SALLYE)

Steps:

• 1. Tips before you start: 1. To save time, place diced celery and onion in microwave safe bowl with a tablespoon of water, cover with paper towel and nuke for 2 minutes 2. Another time saver is to use 2 pkgs of Morrison's Texas style yellow cornbread mix....do not use other brands as they have sugar in them and will make the stuffing taste funny 3. This stuffing is best if mixed up (but not cooked) the night before and refrigerated(to allow the spices to blend. Remove from fridge about 30 minutes before cooking. 4. I usually add a little of the turkey drippings mixed with a cup of water to mixture just before cooking. 5. I use my food processor on pulse mode to dice the onions and celery.
• 2. Cook cornbread and biscuits according to directions. Set aside to cool. When cool, crumble cornbread and biscuits into a large mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients except turkey drippings and mix thoroughly until very moist. You may have to add a cup of water or another can of chicken broth if not moist enough. Best if covered and refrigerated overnight to allow spices to blend.
• 3. Mix turkey drippings into stuffing mixture just before ready to cook. Place stuffing in baking dish, and cook in 375ºF oven for about 60 minutes, until vegetables are tender and crust is golden brown.

GOLDIE'S APRICOT NECTAR CAKE (SALLYE)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325º Butter and flour bundt or tube pan and set aside
• 2. With electric mixer, beat together cake mix, sugar, oil and 1 cup apricot nectar in large bowl. Continue to mix with electric mixer, adding eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• 3. Pour into prepared bundt or tube pan and spread out evenly. Bake in 325º preheated oven for 1 hour. Test cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the thickest part. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Let cool for about 5 minutes in pan, then gently run thin knife or spatula around edges and turn out onto serving plate
• 4. While cake is still warm, drizzle glaze over it. To make glaze, Whisk together confectioners sugar, lemon juice and 1/4 cup apricot nectar until well blended. Optional you can punch small holes in cake to let the glaze penetrate down into the cake, but I never do that.

SAVORY CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Place a 9 inch cast iron skillet or a heavy 2 quart baking dish or a heavy 9 inch square baking pan in the oven while you prepare the batter.
• Place the cornmeal in a bowl, and sift in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Sift the mixture with a spoon or whisk to amalgamate. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, yogurt, milk and honey. Whisk the cornmeal mixture into the liquid mixture. Do not overwork the batter.
• Remove the pan from the oven, and add the butter to the pan. Swirl the pan so that the butter melts quickly before it gets too brown, then quickly whisk the butter into the batter. Brush the sides of the pan with any butter remaining in the pan.
• Quickly scrape all of the batter into the hot pan, and place in the oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It will be quite brown on the edges. Allow the bread to cool in the pan, or serve warm.

Moisten as desired with milk.

JULIE'S CORNBREAD DRESSING OR STUFFING

Steps:

• Dice celery and onion and keep refrigerated.
• 2 1/2 HOURS BEFORE SERVING.
• Crumble cornbread by hand into the bowl with the bread.
• Add the eggs, sage, salt and pepper.
• Add 2 cups of turkey broth.
• Add the cream.
• Add additional chicken broth, until you reach the right consistency. Be careful not to add too much as the dressing will not set. (You want enough liquid so that the bread will soak it up and still be just slightly soupy.).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (If using the same oven as the turkey, plan to cook longer to accommodate the lower oven temperature.).
• If not using a disposable pan, spray pan with Pam AND line it with heavy duty aluminum foil or regular aluminum foil, doubled. Spray the foil as well.
• 1 1/4 HOUR BEFORE SERVING.
• Place dressing in the oven.
• Check on it starting at 45 minutes. Depending on the size of your pan (the depth of the dressing), it will take anywhere from 45 minutes up to 1 1/4 hour to get done.
