Emerald Isle Punch Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, corned beef, onion, parsley, 1 tablespoon dill and seasoned salt. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Trace the large shamrock pattern onto a piece of waxed paper; cut out. Place on loaf. Carefully cut out and removed shamrock; set aside. Hollow out loaf, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Cut removed bread and cutout shamrock into cubes. Fill shell with dip; sprinkle with remaining dill. Serve with bread cubes, vegetables and crackers.

Steps:

• For the sour mix: Combine the lemon juice and Simple Syrup in a glass and stir together.
• For the emerald isle: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the vodka, rum, Irish whiskey, blue curacao, 3/4 ounce of the sour mix and the orange juice. Shake once and strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Garnish with the lime wedge.
• Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. (Alternatively, heat in the microwave.) Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Mix all together well in a large punch bowl, and chill well.

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tablespoon oil, mustard, whiskey, rosemary and garlic to form a paste. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper; spread paste over both sides. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
• 2. Heat remaining 1 Tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb chops in a single layer; cook 2 to 3 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Remove to serving plate and keep warm.
• 3. Drain excess fat from skillet. Add wine; cook and stir about 5 minutes, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Stir in jam until well blended. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted. Serve sauce over lamb chops.

Steps:

• In a very large punch bowl, mix the drink mix, sugar, pineapple juice and water.
• Add ginger ale and sherbet when ready to serve.

Steps:

• Combine sugar and water, bring to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and stir in Jello. Cool.
• Add jucies, mint extract if using, and water to desired strength. (I suggest tasting it first after adding about 1 cup of water. If it is too sweet for you, add some more water until it tastes right.).
• Add ginger ale just before serving.
• Green food coloring may be added before serving if you like. This makes it festive for St. Patrick's Day, Christmas, New Year, or any other party that you can think of where green would look nice.
• Note: You can use any flavor of Jello you like--strawberry, cherry, lemon, etc. and omit the mint extract if desired. Use an appropriate food coloring.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water.
• Add the butter, eggs, potatoes, salt, remaining sugar and two cups flour; beat until smooth.
• Stir in raisins and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
• Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into eight portions.
• Shape each into a ball.
• Place dough balls in a greased 10-inch springform pan.
• Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
