MERRY CHRISTMAS

The Christmas is approaching, homes have lights and Christmas decorations,fireworks are heard,  the shops are full, it seems that everyone expects the last minute to buy gifts.

And as the hour is near, do not know why one feels some homesickness, maybe for the memories of beings ones who are no longer with us, maybe in the heavens or maybe living abroad. But you have to lift those spirits, because there is always someone close to one,  and remember that it not only is buying Christmas gifts, we`re  celebrating the birth of Jesus, so that's what we have to celebrate.

In my case,  we're getting together at home. Normally in a Christmas dinner in my country we eat turkey, tamales, salads, rice, pineapple, applesauce, sometimes pork, and of course his inevitable Panettone bread, and milk chocolate...This is my turkey recipe:

Preparation:

1 turkey 8 kg

2 cups cider or champagne

2 tablespoons garlic powder

2 tbsp paprika

2 tbsp mustard

Salt and black pepper

½ cup of pisco

2 tbsp orégano

1 tbsp honey
1 white onion
butter 50 grs.

Preparation

Insert pisco over the turkey

Mix cider with salt, pepper, garlic, mustard, oregano, paprika and honey

Place turkey mixture and let stand 8 hours.

Place turkey on a white onion, chopped preveiously.

Place inside the turkey branches of Rosemary and 2 or 3 green apples.
Add Butter (50 grs) over the turkey.

Bake at 350 F for 2 hours 30 minutes.

Secrets:

Some, place two days before the turkey in a bucke of salt and a Little sugar (to make it moist), then dry de turkey and add all the ingredients.

Others, add Coca Cola and dark beer or a Little of sugar blondy.
