O.K. Who Adds to Mama's Thanksgiving Dinner?

[Steven Tari]

With being brought up in Hungarian and Irish household I make two Desserets that were passed down by my Grandmothers. I'm the oldest so I learned by helping every year we were around them. The one on the Hungarian side was a layered cranberry/whipcream and either Nuts,or graham cracker mix, I had to hit 16 to get to try my favorite one now from the Irish side. The raisins are soaked in Irish liquer for 3 months before you can make this pie. But I have kinda stretched this by starting my rasins on the New Year. I add the Irish Whiskey to cover 4 cups of white raisins. These are in a airtight container and refrigerated . After 3 months I check my raisins if the liquer is gone I stir the raisins and fill it back up with Irish liquer. I check it one more time after 3 months and do what has to be done. Now this time of year, like right now the raisins are taken out and the extra liquer is taken out added to the restof whats left in the bottles and we make our firist toast to the holidays. The raisins are mixed in with a heavy cream and couple other things. It's set back in the refrigerator until it's time to make this pie. Now this slice of pie will bring you to the automatic can't drive zone. But it's the best raisin pie you have ever tasted. So what do Y'all do to help Mama cook for Thanksgiving. OH! by the way the extra liquer is 2 bottles at the start. So usually the Men take their's in shot's and the Ladies have their's in Homemade Egg Nog. HAPPY HOLIDAYS Y'ALL FROM US TO YOURS.

Hi Steven,

My wife's side of the family is of Hungarian descent and we have a turkey stuffing called teutalek (not sure how its spelled). Is this something you folks have as well? I've come to love the stuff.

All sounds good. As for helping not so much Although I did carry the turkeys into the house for my wife does that count? I also got a smaller 16 pound bird the I plan on smoking with pecan wood in the pellet grill/smoker.

There is no way that this is an authentic recipe because booze never lasts 3 months in a Hungarian or Irish house!

Well I keep a very wide selection of wines and liquers in my house. Besides the Box wines the girls drinks.I belong to 2 wine clubs, There's a couple hundered bottles of wines from around the world of all styles, Burbens, and we spend at least 300 dollars in liquers every month. The only liquer I don't keep is Scotch. No one likes it so I don't stock it. Also plenty of fruit, Fruit drinks, and plenty of sodas. The Irish Whisky is always plentyful around here.
