CRAIG W. HULVEY'S BASIL JELLY
From: Washington Post
(makes 4 to 6 half-pints)
1 1/2 to 2 cups packed basil leaves
3.5 cups sugar
3 Tbs fresh lemon juice
1/2 bottle (1 packet) liquid fruit pectin (or use 1.75-ounce box Sure Jell
powdered pectin)
Rinse and dry enough fresh, unblemished basil leaves to get 1.5 to 2 cups,
packed. Place in an enamel pan and use the back of a wooden spoon to bruise
the leaves, extracting the oil. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Then
remove from heat, cover and allow to steep for 20 minutes. Strain the
liquid into a measuring cup. Return 1.5 cups to pan. Discard the basil
leaves.
Add the sugar and the lemon juice, strained, to the liquid in the pan. Bring
to a hard boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Add the pectin and
return the mixture to a hard boil, meaning that the bubbles can't be stirred
down. Boil for 1 minute, remove from heat and skim off any froth.
Ladle the hot liquid into hot sterilized hars. Cap with lids and process in
a boiling water bath. Allow to cool, then store in a dry place. After
opening, store in refrigerator.

Sausage-Pecan Cornbread Stuffing
Ingredients:
1 pound breakfast sausage
1 stick butter or margarine
2 medium onions, minced
1 to 2 cups pecans or walnuts, chopped
2 (1 lb.) packages corn bread stuffing mix
2 1/2 to 5 cups water or water and chicken broth
Cook sausage in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat,
stirring to break up into small pieces. Pour off fat and drain
sausage on paper towel. Add butter to pan and saute onions.
Add nuts, stuffing mix and sausage; toss gently. Add water or
broth a little at a time, tossing gently to moisten stuffing.
If you are going to bake the stuffing apart from the bird, use the
larger quantity and at least some broth for flavor. If you are
going to stuff the bird, leave the stuffing relatively dry.
Makes 24 servings.
Note: The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends stuffing the
cavity loosely and using a meat thermometer. The internal thigh
temperature of the bird should reach 180- 185 degrees; the stuffing
at its densest point should reach 165 degrees.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
11/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c. finely chopped pecans
1/3 c. margarine melted
Combine all ingred. and press into bottom and 1 1/2
inches up the side of a 9"springform pan.Bake 350
deg.-10 min.
2pkg. cr. cheese 1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1 c. canned pumpkin
3/4tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Combine cheese , 1/2 c. sugar and vanilla mixing at
med. speed. until well blended. Add eggs one at a time,
mixing well after each. Reserve 1 c. batter. Add
remaining sugar, pumpkin and spices to rem. batter and
mix well. Alternately layer pump. and cr. cheese batter
over crust. Bake 375 deg. for 75 min. Loosen pan from
rim. Cool before removing rim of pan and chill. I find
cooking the sheesecake at a lower temp. for a longer
period of time this prevents it from cracking. Decor.
with whipped cream. This is not a low fat recipe.
