Since preparing a Thanksgiving feast on a barbecue isn’t traditional, why finish it up with the usual pumpkin pie? This layered dessert from Nancy Gerlach is unique in that it can be cooked on the grill like the rest of the meal.
Calypso Grilled Mango
This is obviously a dessert, but it can be served as a side dish to barbecued ribs, poultry, or fish.
Wilted Chinese Cabbage
For a variation, or to make a more substantial salad course, serve a radish salad over wilted Chinese cabbage.
White Peach Bourbon Grilling Sauce
Make friends with someone who has a big white peach tree in their yard. You won’t regret it.
Pan de Muerto, Bread of the Dead
In Mexico, bakeries advertise different shapes of the bread for the holiday. The most common is round; others might be shapes of human beings, animals, especially rabbits in profile.
Dr BBQ’s Pumpkin Cheesecake
Dr BBQ’s pumpkin cheesecake here serves as a great alternative to pumpkin pie, bread, or the nasty wax mouth-hell we call “candy corn.”
Pumpkin Salsa Queso and Pulled Pork Taquitos
Pumpkin Salsa is one of those items that’s so specialized it’s challenging to come up with new things to make with it. It goes with pork, though, and since I’m turning some smoked pulled swine into taquitos, making this as a fall holiday appetizer was a good idea.
