Channukah party recipes/ideas?
After all the great ideas this board has provided me for Thanksgiving I thought I'd turn to you again for help with my next assignment. It is time once again to go to our neighbor's annual Channukah party. She always asks me to bring something she can serve. I've made plenty of noodle puddings and rugelach over the years; but was thinking this year I'd try something new. Any suggestions?

Tsk tsk, Zook, ya gotta *try* to learn.....
Doughnuts in general are pretty easy . Jelly are (Israeli) traditional, but plain still meet the oily requirements, and truly, are quite easy-even more so if you do them as "holes." Besides all that, they are just plain fun to do, and fun is a basic requirement for me in holiday cooking. :)

Zook, are you committed to doing something sweet? A nice winter salad with apples, beets, and spinach/dark greens is good (and a change from all of those glorious fried foods). Or maybe blintzes? I vote for the two recipes above though...and I will steal the applesauce recipe for everyday use.

No, I'm not committed to something sweet at all; however, my cooking/baking skills are much more moderate than many other posters; so for example, the applesauce recipe would be easy even for me; but the jelly doughnut suggestion above is beyond my ability level. Your suggestion of a salad is a great one and may be just the ticket. Thanks.

Homemade applesauce is insanely easy and delicious, and a traditional accompaniment for latkas. I use Stayman apples with a dash of cinnamon and only a couple spoonfuls of sugar. Just peel and core the apples and chop them in 4ths. Put apples, sugar, and a little water in a pot on the stove. Simmer until mushy. Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher or a big fork. Thank you.
