Marinated Crab Claws

These must be prepared no earlier than one day in advance and no later than six hours before the party. That’s an 18 hour window for those who don’t want to do the math.

Ingredients

1 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
1 /4 cup White balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 /2 cup Green onions, chopped
2 Tbsp Red onion,  minced
2 Tbsp Celery, chopped fine
2 Tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
1 Tbsp Parsley,  chopped
1 tsp Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 /2 tsp Dry oregano
1/4 cup Pickled okra, chopped
1 Tbsp Jalapeno, minced
1 tsp Salt
1 /2 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp Hot sauce
1 pound Blue crab claws

Instructions

In a large, glass bowl, combine all ingredients except claws. Whisk to mix well. Add crab claws and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least six hours or overnight.

Serve chilled.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
