Pennsylvania Dutch Seasonal Recipes

"Great comfort food that hits the spots during cold winter nights, especially after a day on the slopes. Just try to avoid looking at the nutritional facts as you enjoy every bite. Can be made ahead and frozen."

"Pennsylvania Dutch style Apple Dumplings. This recipe is my own creation after trying apple dumplings for the first time on a trip to the Poconos to pick pumpkins. They were a special on the menu at a small diner in Saylorsburg - I had never tasted anything quite so delicious. The dough is soft and almost uncooked at the bottom, the pastry soaked..."

"This is my mom's famous recipe (at least with those who have tasted them) for pickled red beet eggs. They're a must at any picnic, and never go to waste. The longer they marinate, the better they look and taste, so try not to dip into them for at least 3 days. TIP: I like my eggs to be a nice dark pink, and to have plenty of extra beet slices,..."

"Great warm cider recipe for the holiday season. I made it for a Christmas "get together" last week. It was a special treat to warm up our guests. We wound up adding Captain Morgan to "harden it up" a little. It also adds a nice aroma to house to add to that holiday feel."

"So many potato salad recipes try to make themselves better by adding unusual ingredients. I can guarantee those will be the ones still sitting on the table after the picnic is over. This recipe came from my Grandma who was born in the late 1800's and it's the only one we keep coming back to!"

"Whoopie pies are pretty expensive at the vegan bakery in my town, so I scrounged around and found two good-looking recipes on two different blogs. The first blog said that the result was tasty, but the texture wasn't spongy enough. So I used the filling recipe from there and found the cake recipe on another blog. The result is fantastic. NOTES: (1)..."

"My mom bought what she thought at the time was the biggest stockpot ever in 1998, and this is the first thing she made in it. I've always loved it and I make it when I can in my own 16 quart pot! It freezes really well, so don't be afraid to make it all. Cook the chicken a day ahead so you can refrigerate the broth to skim the fat off easier. Thanks..."
