Welcome to The Karney Family Recipe Site!

I have many vivid and wonderful memories of family and friends gathering around the table to celebrate holidays, special events and just the companionship of one another. Meals were always a special event whether eaten at a table with cloth napkins, holiday decorations and the good china, or on a picnic table with a red checked tablecloth on a balmy summer day.

Throughout history, meals have always occupied a special place in the world's great religions. As we gather for sustenance and companionship, we are in our most vulnerable human condition, and that's where the Divine enters. This is precisely why mealtime is sacred and shouldn't be subservient to television, texting and other interruptions. We need each others companionship and the opportunity to be fully human so much that we can't let distractions overwhelm us.

My wife Natalie, and I have always enjoyed cooking, and as our sons, Jared, Jeff and Kevin got older, they all became good cooks. I had been working on putting together a book of both traditional family recipes and favorite newer recipes, but how do you ever say such a thing is done. So, I decided that the best solution would be to put the recipes online where they would be available to friends and family, and now of course to anyone else who is interested. And now we have added three wonderful daughters-in-law, Izabella, Amie and Katy, who with their extended families, I'm sure will be contributing some wonderful recipes.

So. Make some great food, gather around the table with your loved ones and strangers as well, give thanks to God, share your stories and celebrate life.

Nov 112015

Years ago I was looking for a fresh alternative to the gooey, canned cranberry sauce that was traditional at Thanksgiving. I came up with this simple recipe and we have been serving it on Thanksgiving ever since. It is a quick, no-cook recipe.

Fresh Cranberry Relish

Ingredients

1 pound bag of cranberries
1 large orange
1/2 cup of sugar, adjust to your taste

Instructions

Wash the cranberries and pick through them, removing any soft or shriveled ones.
Pulse the berries in a food processor until they are chopped fine, and then put them in a bowl.
Peel the orange and remove seeds.
Put the orange pieces in the food processor and process until well pureed.
Add the pureed orange and the sugar to the cranberries and mix well.
Add more sugar if necessary.
Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
