BUBBLE AND SQUEAK

Bubble and Squeak image

Each year at Christmas, I make sure I have leftovers to make this bubble and squeak on Boxing Day. I like to serve it with cold turkey and salad. This version can be made any time of year, and it's also good served at brunch with sausages. I find it helpful to use an ice cream scoop to divide the potato mixture into portions before flattening them. -Tanya Aggett, Toronto, Ontario

SPICED CRAN-APPLE AND GRAPE CONSERVE

Spiced Cran-Apple and Grape Conserve image

Faced with an abundance of grapes from my garden, I wound up using them in various ways. This conserve was an afterthought, but I received so many great compliments from family and friends that I made sure to write down the recipe. I served it with crackers and Brie cheese, but it would be great with pork, chicken, ham and cheesecake, too. -Kallee Krong-McCreery, Escondido, California
