It 's hard to make a bowl of cloud-like whipped cream better, but a jigger of bourbon seems to do the trick. Perfect on mincemeat, pumpkin or sweet potato pie. Or just eat it with a spoon.

Cheddar and Olive Balls

Submitted by: MHAMMOND 
I based this recipe on one from a famous Virginia colonial tavern, but I've had much better success with this one than the one published in their cookbook. It's great for parties, picnics, or potlucks. It will also freeze well (uncooked) for quick prep anytime!

These are by far the best rolls I've ever had! My neighbor's mom makes these and passed the recipe along. They are scrumptious! This recipe makes a lot of rolls. You can freeze the dough after forming into rolls. 

Grilled Jerk Pork Tenderloin

Submitted by: VAGRILL 
Apple cider makes this Jerk marinade unique, and a bit untraditional. The pork tenderloin will absorb all the flavors of this marinade beautifully if it's massaged into the meat before marinating. Grilled pineapple goes well with this as a side dish.
