Foods fried in oil are the centerpiece of this Hanukkah meal. Potato latkes are crisp patties that really have to be eaten as soon as they are made. Since you will be involved with the latkes, the rest of the menu should be made ahead of time. The brisket cooks to perfect tenderness in the slow cooker, applesauce and doughnuts are even better made ahead of time, and the greens and vegetable salad will wait happily in the fridge until serving time.
Have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.
Hanukkah Menu
- Crockpot Beef Brisket
The crockpot is really the best way to cook brisket; the long, slow cooking results in fork-tender beef. And the gravy is fantastic! - Potato Latkes
My variation of Bert Greene's family recipe for latkes is foolproof and fabulous. What more can I say? - Vegetable and Greens Salad
Assemble this salad and the fresh dressing ahead of time and refrigerate, tightly covered, until serving time. - Crockpot Applesauce
Make this easy applesauce in your crockpot the day before your dinner party. - Jelly Doughnuts
This traditional recipe takes some time and skill, but the results are unbelievably good. - Almond Sponge Cake with Raspberry Sauce
This beautiful and elegant cake is the perfect dessert for your Hanukkah celebration menu. To make the Raspberry Sauce, simply puree some frozen raspberries with a bit of sugar and lemon juice.
