Grandma's Dressing

Well, ok, this is not my grandma's dressing, it's from Gooseberry Patch's Flavors of Fall book. I like it with a grilled or baked chicken breast. It would never work in our traditional family (both sides) as the "main" dressing, but it would be a nice side. Or, it would be great with left over turkey slices, if you have any left.

Grandma's Dressing
1 T. plus 1 t. salt, divided
3/4 cup long-cooking rice, uncooked
1/2 cup raisins or sweetened dried cranberries (or a combo)
2 onions, chopped
1 T. butter
1 t. sugar
1 t. pepper

Place water in a saucepan according to rice package directions and add one T. salt; bring to a boil. Add rice; return to a boil for 10 minutes. Stir in cranberries and/or raisins and remove from heat. Saute onions in butter until golden; mix into rice mixture. Add sugar, remaining salt and pepper. Stir well. Remove from heat and cool. Serves 4 (but is easily doubled or tripled).

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezie! Enjoy!

Gratefully,
Cathy
