A Glorious Holiday Dinner
Wednesday, December 1, 2021 6:30 PM ET In-person
Betty Rosbottom will explain how to order, then prep and cook a showstopper crown roast of pork. Studded with garlic, the roast is basted with a tarragon mustard butter while in the oven, and when done its cavity is filled with a mound of creamy mashed potatoes. For sides you’ll discover Bourbon and brown sugar glazed carrots, easily made ahead, and a mixed winter greens salad with pears and walnuts dressed in a walnut vinaigrette. Betty will show you how to make an orange-scented mascarpone cheesecake with a topping of glistening cranberries, another make-ahead dish. This is a perfect menu to share with family and friends during the holiday season.
