Thermos® Recipes for the Holidays

If you're traveling for the holidays (as most people are) you may want to prepare or semi-prepare your dishes before leaving. If so, you'll want to use Thermos® products to store your food, and keep your dishes moist, warm, or cold, and ready to eat. Here are some recipes that turn out great when prepared using Thermos® products that you and your loved ones can enjoy all through the holiday season.

Candy Cane Cocoa

Ingredients

  • 4 cups milk
  • 3 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 4 peppermint candy canes, crushed
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 4 small peppermint candy canes

    Directions
    In a saucepan, heat milk until hot, but not boiling.* Whisk in the chocolate and the crushed peppermint candies until melted and smooth. Pour hot cocoa into four mugs, and garnish with whipped cream. Serve each with a candy cane stirring stick.


    * Instead of a saucepan, you can use the Thermos® Stainless Steel Cook and Carry System to heat the milk for the recipe.

    Apple Cranberry Relish

    Ingredients

  • 2 navel oranges
  • 2 (12 ounce) packages cranberries
  • 2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
  • 2 celery, chopped
  • 3 cups white sugar

    Directions
    Grate peel of orange; reserve. Peel oranges and discard white membranes. Separate oranges into sections and place half in a food processor or blender. To the food processor add half of the cranberries, apples and celery. Process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl; repeat with remaining oranges, cranberries, apples and celery. Stir in sugar and reserved orange peel. Cover and refrigerate overnight.*

    *This dish can be stored in a variety of Thermos® Food Jars, and can be kept cold in the Cook and Carry System while traveling.

    Coquito (a Puerto Rican coconut egg nog)

    Ingredients

  • 4 cups coconut milk
  • 6 tablespoons white sugar
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 tablespoons dark rum
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    Directions
    Combine the coconut milk and the sugar in a saucepan* and scald over medium heat. Beat the egg yolks with the vanilla. Beat in 1/2 cup of the scalded mixture into the egg yolks. Then whisk all the egg yolk mixture into the scalded mixture. Stirring mixture constantly, cook over low heat until mixture reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. DO NOT BOIL. Strain the eggnog into a bowl. Stir in the rum and let cool to room temperature. Place plastic wrap on the surface and refrigerate until well chilled. Once chilled serve with nutmeg sprinkled on top.
