Side Dish - Chef Johns Baked Acorn Squash

I like how this tastes, but scoring the squash with a knife before baking really makes for a great presentation. It also allows the simple but delicious glaze to penetrate nice and deep.

Fruits And Vegetables - Jeweled Fruitcake

Wonderful fruitcake with dates, maraschino cherries, candied pineapple, pecans, and peach brandy. Make this at Thanksgiving so it's ready for Christmas.

Herbs And Spices - Vanilla Sugar

Main Dish - Moms Stovetop Pork Ribs

This is how my Brazilian mom prepares pork ribs. Boiling the ribs with the seasonings ensures that the meat will remain moist and juicy, and that the flavors will fully penetrate the meat. I hope you like these as much as I always have! Serve with lime wedges, rice and a fresh green salad.
