A web search for Christmas party recipes will yield hundreds of delicious appetizers, soups, main dishes and desserts that are associated with Christmas. You can narrow your search if you enter specific details such as recipes for a children’s party, Italian Christmas recipes or Christmas dessert recipes.
Will you have a sit down dinner or will it be a buffet? In either case you need to look for cheap supplies like cutlery, tableware and decorations.
I found at least 12 recipes for roast turkey and even more for ham. Of course there are dozens of variations of the green bean casserole. My favorite meat course is a crown rib roast.
Desserts are a huge part of any Christmas party. One of my favorites and very easy to make is candied citrus peel. You use a swivel peeler to remove the peel, leaving the fibrous white pith.
Take a sharp knife and cut the peel into strips. Put the strips in a pot and cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Drain and cover with more cold water.
Add ½ cup sugar and cook with moderate heat until the liquid evaporates and the peel is shiny. Spread the fruit on a sheet of foil and be sure the strips are separated. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for about 6 months. You can dip the strips in chocolate for an even richer treat that your guests will absolutely love.
Another great treat would be peppermint bark which is made by melting white chocolate and adding crushed hard peppermint candy. Pour the mixture into a wax paper covered cookie sheet and let cool. Break into small pieces. The candy can be stored in sealed containers for several months.
These and dozens of other wonderful Christmas party recipes are available on the net.
