Vegetarian recipes for a great thanksgiving dinner

Cranberry Relish in Orange Cups (Serves 12) Ingredients: 6 Oranges 1 cup Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed 1 cup Orange Juice 1/2 cup Water 2 Tbs. crystallized Ginger, finely chopped 1/2 tsp. ground Ginger Dash of ground Cloves 4 cups Cranberries Cut the oranges in half and remove pulp. Cover and store orange shells in the refrigerator; they will keep well for a couple of days. To loosen the pulp from the shell, cut around the inside of each orange half with the knife.

In a large saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, orange juice, water, crystallized ginger, ground ginger, and cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cranberries and return the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat again to medium-high, and boil for 3 to 5 minutes or until skins pop, stirring occasionally. Transfer the relish to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. You may store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Spoon the cranberry relish into the orange shells to serve.           Top THREE SISTERS" STEW 6 servings In Native American mythology, squash, corn, and beans are known as of the "three sisters." These are the very crops, along with garden vegetables, that the harvest festival of Thanksgiving is meant to celebrate! Ingredients: 1 small sugar pumpkin or 1 large butternut or carnival squash (about 2 pounds) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 medium green or red bell pepper, cut into short, narrow strips 14- to 16-ounce can diced tomatoes, with liquid 2 cups cooked or canned pinto beans 2 cups corn kernels (from 2 large or 3 medium ears) 1 cup homemade or canned vegetable stock, or water 1 or 2 small fresh hot chilies, seeded and minced 1 teaspoon each: ground cumin, dried oregano Salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 to 4 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. To loosen the pulp from the shell, cut around the inside of each orange half with the knife. Using a small spoon, carefully remove the pulp and discard (or reserve as recommended), leaving the orange shell intact. Cut the pumpkin or squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and fibers. Cover with aluminum foil and place the halves, cut side up, in a foil-lined shallow baking pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife but still firm (if using squash, prepare the same way). When cool enough to handle, scoop out the pulp, and cut into large dice. Set aside until needed. Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until the onion is golden. Add the pumpkin and all the remaining ingredients except the last 2 and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently, covered, until all the vegetables are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If time allows, let the stew stand for 1 to 2 hours before serving, then heat through as needed. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro. The stew should be thick and very moist but not soupy; add additional stock or water if needed. Serve in shallow bowls.              Top MAPLE AND TARRAGON SWEET POTATOES Makes 8 to 10 servings Maple syrup and tarragon, a sweet herb, are wonderful enhancements for the flavor of sweet potatoes.

Bake another 20 to 25 minutes uncovered, or until glazed and golden around the edges.     Top JICAMA COLESLAW WITH CITRUS DRESSING Makes 8 to 10 servings Jicama, a vegetable quite popular in the Southwest, is becoming increasingly available everywhere else.

With a potato masher or hand-held electric mixer, mash in the hot milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Beat with a wooden spoon or mixer until potatoes are smooth and creamy.
