Absolutely the best pecan pie ever! What's more Southern than pecan pie? How about one that only takes 5 minutes to prepare?! Pecan pie even a New Yorker can enjoy...
Beer and Mustard Ham
Recipe by:
Natemmi
I use an electric roaster for this bone-in ham recipe that my mother has been using since her childhood. Small changes may have to be made for making the ham in a traditional oven.
Cannoli Filling
Recipe by:
Anthony
The sweetest treat of the Italian bakery. If you can't make it to Little Italy (or Big Italy) make it in your own kitchen.

Judy's Clam Dip
Recipe by:
KYMike
My mother prepared this dish (along with another simple appetizer consisting of chilled cocktail shrimp stuck with festive toothpicks along side a dish of cocktail sauce) every Christmas as far back as I can remember. It is a creamy, savory blend of easy-to-find ingredients that showcases the rich flavor of the clams. Stay with the mentioned brands and you'll never be disappointed. Serve with Ruffles(R) Original potato chips.

Sweet mustard sauce for baked ham or chicken. My family can't get enough of every time I make it.
Peppered Beef Tenderloin
Recipe by:
REDNECKMACHINIST
I found this recipe when my wife & I moved in to her childhood home after her mom died in September, 2004. This recipe was originally for prime rib, but it makes any decent cut of meat come out tender and juicy. The secret is searing it at high heat, then letting it slow roast in the oven. This is definitely worth the wait. An accurate meat thermometer is an absolute must to get this just right.
Steves Christmas Stollen
Recipe by:
SPFROSTY
I got a Christmas Stollen recipie from a friend in hopes that I could recreate her mother's German Christmas Stollen. I made some modifications and omissions and she was, well, delighted! Below is the result. Do not be afraid to use your imagination for the fruits, and if you do not want the liquor, then don't use it, like walnuts rather than almonds, then use walnuts, you have freedom to do so. I would NOT use candied fruit however.
Butter Balls
Recipe by:
Bud
This is our family's favorite Christmas cookie recipe from my wife's grandmother's collection of recipes. These are super easy to make with or without nuts... Plan on making 2 or more batches the first time, they won't last long!
Mac and Cheese Bake
I make this at the holidays, but it is pretty good any time. I got the recipe from my grandmother.
Peach Brandy Eggnog
Recipe by:
DEVCAMP
This is a old family favorite using peach brandy rather than the traditional whiskey. The brandy imparts a sweet, creamy, and lighter taste.
Beef and Onion Cheese Ball
Recipe by:
PALAR2
I've made this cheese ball for years. I find the jarred dried beef to have the best flavor but you have to rinse it to remove much of the salt. This recipe works best if made at least one day in advance.

This recipe always makes me think of Christmastime and my late Nana, because we made it every Christmas and New Year and continue to do so.

Chocolate-covered peanut butter delight!! Great for kids. If you don't have a double boiler, just use a glass mixing bowl over a saucepan of boiling water.
