Library Journal-Rezension

This follow-up to Hometown Recipes for the Holidays features more contest-winning recipes submitted by the magazine's devoted readers, this time for dishes for potlucks, family reunions, and such gatherings. Most of the recipes are reminiscent of an old-fashioned community cookbook--e.g., Easy Banana Bread to Spareribs Polynesian (and there was a separate category in the contest for French's French Fried Onions, so quite a few dishes feature canned fried onions). American Profile, a weekly newspaper supplement, has more than 28 million readers; buy for demand. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Hometown Get-Togethers Memorable Meals for Great Gatherings Cheese Ring with Strawberry Preserves Serves 18 to 20 Betty Key, Gardendale, Alabama "My husband worked at a Chevrolet dealership in Birmingham, Alabama, for many years. The employees there loved this cheese ring and expected it for every occasion. Even after my husband retired, they called to ask if I would make it for them. I always sent two, and they were gone in no time." Ingredients: 1 pound sharp Cheddar, finely shredded One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 cup pecan chips, toasted, if desired 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 2 to 3 tablespoons Tabasco sauce 2 cups strawberry preserves Assorted crackers Instructions: 1. Combine the Cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, pecan chips, onion, garlic, and Tabasco in a large bowl; mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. 2. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and shape into a ring on a serving plate. Fill the center of the ring with the preserves. Serve with assorted crackers. Olive Salsa Serves 16 Mary Bilke, Eagle River, Wisconsin "I have made this for many get-togethers and always have to double the recipe. I have also learned to bring copies of the recipe with me, because anyone new always asks for one. You can make it spicier by adding more jalapeños or leaving the seeds in." Ingredients: One 7-ounce jar pimiento-stuffed green olives, drained and coarsely chopped One 6-ounce can pitted black olives, drained and coarsely chopped 1 large tomato, cored, seeded, and coarsely chopped 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and coarsely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese Corn scoops, tortilla chips, or bagel chips Instructions: 1.
