What timing! Although I have eaten mussels many times, October 17 was the very first time I cooked them, and (if I do say so myself!) they were great. A friend and I ate every last one, and he raved about the flavor the whole time. This is my own recipe.
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups white wine
- 0.75 cups tomato and clam juice cocktail
- 3 cloves garlic - peeled and sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 pound mussels , cleaned and debearded
- 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
-
1
In a stock pot, combine the wine, juice cocktail, garlic and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and add mussels.
-
2
Cover and continue to boil for about 4 to 6 minutes or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that haven't opened.
-
3
Remove mussels from liquid and keep warm. Pour off liquid to leave about 1 cup. Try not to discard the garlic. Boil the 1 cup of liquid until it's reduced to about 3/4 of a cup.
-
4
Add butter and stir until butter has melted and sauce has thickened slightly. Serve mussels with sauce.

Rosy Strawberry Rhubarb Applesauce
This delicious applesauce combines the best of both sweet apples and tangy rhubarb. If you don't have rhubarb, you can substitute frozen cranberries instead. It is great for freezing, canning, or just eating as soon as it is prepared, warm or cold. Everyone who tries it loves it. It makes great gifts in decorative canning jars!
Pineapple Picnic Cake
This is a delicious moist cake! The recipe was given to me over 20 years ago by a co-worker. It's so easy to make and it's always a hit. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.
Elegant Turkey Stuffing
The distinctiveness of this fancy turkey dressing comes from the orange-flavored liqueur, spicy Italian sausage, apples, and pecans. It's also very easy to prepare. This recipe makes enough to stuff one 18- to 20-pound bird. If you prefer, this dressing can be made with thyme instead of sage.
