Jezebel Sauce

I don't know who was the first to throw all this in a bowl and hope for the best. But if you go to a party in Southern Louisiana and find the horsedover table. You'll find a bowl of Jezebel sauce with the cheese and crackers.

1 (10 ounce) jar pineapple preserves,or (1 cup)

1 (10 ounce) jar apple jelly,or (1 cup)

1/4 cup dry mustard shopping list

1/3 cup prepared horseradish

1 1/2 teaspoons finely-ground black pepper

In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, process all ingredients until blended. I just put it all in a bowl and whisk the heck out of it. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

I have seen this just poured over blocks of cream cheese in a shallow serving bowl.

Alabama Mud Cake

This is a dessert I don't even mind making.

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice

1 can apple pie filling (or cherry)

1 box devil's food cake mix

1 cup pecans

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup butter or margarine, sliced

    Pour pineapple with juice into prepared pan, spreading evenly to make the first layer. Spread apple filling over the pineapple layer, then spread the dry cake mix over the apple filling. Sprinkle the cake mix layer with pecans and chocolate chips then distribute the sliced butter evenly over the top.

    Bake for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
