7-Up Salad

I don't have a picture of this because I haven't made it yet. But I remember my mom making it and I've been dying to get the recipe. It's wonderful! Try it for your next Sunday dinner.

2 pkg lemon jello (the small ones)
2 c hot water
2 cups 7-up
Crushed pineapple (drained)
1 c marshmallows
3 bananas

Dissolve jello in the water, add the 7-up. Chill until partly set, and add pineapple, marshmallows, and bananas.

Topping:
1/2 c pineapple juice
2 T flour
1 egg beaten
1/2 c sugar
2 T butter
1/2 c Whipped Cream
Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Mix juice, flour, egg and sugar together and cook until thick. Cool. Add whipped cream. Spread on top of the set salad, and sprinkle with the grated cheese on the top.

Creamy Bean and Ham Soup

This is a great way to use up that left over ham we always have after a big Sunday Dinner.

Left Over Ham* cubed
1/2 c onion, chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 pt heavy cream
1 can chicken broth
2 cans Great Northern Beans
2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/8 t pepper
1 T Worchesterchire sauce

Mix all ingredients except cream and heat through. Remove from heat and add cream. Return to heat on low until warmed through, you don't want to boil the soup after the cream has been added.

*A great way to cook your ham is to take a butt or shank portion, put it in a turkey bag, and pour a liter of sprite (with sugar) over the top of it. Slip it in the oven at 225 for at least 8 hours. Very inexpensive (if you get the ham on sale) and delicious!

Strawberry Soup

This is really good in the summer too, when it's too hot to cook



1 16 oz pkg frozen whole strawberries, thawed
1 c sour cream
1 c half and half
1/2-3/4 sugar
2 T Grenadine Syrup

Place strawberries in blender or food processor. Cover. Process until well-blended. Add remaining ingredients. (Sugar to taste). Mix well.

Chill several hours or overnight. Makes eight 1/2 cup servings
