Christmas comes in all ways

By -

So we start our celebration in a very little while. Having to work the holidays makes our different this year, but I always say it is a Season not a Day. The ham is going into the oven soon and we are going to glaze it for the first time ever.....do you glaze???

Here is my Auntie Rita's Baked Beans
1 lb. of crisp bacon crumbled
1/4 cup Karo White Syrup
1/4 Cup mustard
1 T. Butter
1 lb brown Sugar
3 onions
1 clove garlic
1 Cup Ketchup

Cans of beans : Butter, black, kidney 2 each



Brown the butter. Cut the onion into rings. Chop the garlic fine. Add the onion and garlic to the butter and stir until golden in color. Add Brown sugar and Karo syrup and bring to a rolling boil. Add the mustard last and pour over the beans. Pour into oven type casserole dish.

Bake 3 hours at 225 degrees. In the Last 1/2 hour add 1 cup ketchup.
Best if baked the day before serving.


I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

Yum!! I'll have to mince the onions... the Knight won't eat it if he sees 'em... I think I might have everything I need in the pantry.

Merry Christmas!

I love baked beans! If you lived closer, I'd hop in the car and bring you some cookies for working on the holiday. Last Christmas I ended up in the ER and so appreciated them being there for me. Have a very wonderful Christmas celebration, early or not. I'm with you on the 12 Days part! Happy, happy Christmas, Kathy!

I use molasses instead of the syrup, but everything else is the same.

Thanks so much for the baked beans recipe. I will make them this weekend.

I am amazed by the Christmas cactus! Only once in my life have I had one that would actually bloom on or near Christmas. If you grew that yourself I am SO in awe!!

I always think of my Grandma when I see a Christmas cactus. She was the only person I knew who could keep one alive and blooming.

Until I met you, that is.

MERRY!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas.

Our Christmas is different this year too. This is the first year we are empty-nesters and our son is just coming to visit.

It feels weird. LOL

Love your cactus. I have two giant ones that have been blooming for a month or so.

My evil stepfather worked for a company that made baked beans. He always took them to every event. I've hated bean ever since, probably more my feelings about him than the actual beans.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
