GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED BOILED DRESSING

Steps:

• In the bottom of a double boiler (medium saucepan) add 1" of water and turn the heat to medium.
• In the top bowl of the double boiler (glass bowl that can rest slightly in the saucepan but not touch the water) add the mustard powder, sugar, salt, flour and water. Whisk to combine.
• In a small bowl whisk together the egg yolks and vinegar. Pour that into the water mixture and whisk.
• Place the bowl on top of the double boiler and keep whisking until the mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon. 8-10 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the butter. Once the butter is incorporated, add in the cream, whisking to blend.

• Put the egg yolks in a small mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, mustard, flour, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
• Very slowly, pour the boiling vinegar/water into the egg yolk mixture, a small amount at a time, whisking well to make sure the vinegar/water mixture and the egg yolk mixture combine - you don't want the eggs to cook.
• Pour the dressing back into the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until it thickens and begins to bubble.
• Remove from the heat and add the butter, whisking until it is melted and absorbed into the dressing. Whisk in the cream and cool completely.

GRANNY'S OLD-FASHIONED BREAD AND SAGE DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet. Add celery and onion. Sauté until vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in thyme, sage, salt (optional), and pepper. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place bread slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast on both sides, about 10 minutes per side (or you can use the toaster). Break bread into bite-size pieces. Mix in vegetable mixture and parsley. (At this point, stuffing can be made one day ahead, placed in a self-sealing container, and refrigerated.)
• In a medium saucepan, heat broth to a simmer. Place dressing mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add hot broth and stir until bread is evenly moistened, starting with 2½ cups broth and adding additional broth to reach desired consistency. Transfer mixture to a shallow baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.
