grease as necessary. Leave enough grease to saute onions, celery
and green pepper--add when bacon is nearly done. Place in casserole,

also be added.

| 3-4 lbs. chicken |
1/4 cup white wine (optional) |
| 1 Tablespoon salt |
3 cubes chicken bouillon |
| 1-1/2 cups wild rice |
1/2 cup flour |
| 1 small onion (diced) |
1 cup water |
| 1 cup celery (diced) |
1 pint half-and-half |
|
Combine water, chicken, and salt in large kettle. Cover and simmer
1-1/2 hours until meat is tender. Remove chicken and strain. Add
chicken bouillon to broth. Add wild rice to liquid and simmer 30
minutes. Add onoin celery and green pepper; simmer an additional
15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, add white wine.

Chery Wild Rice Fruit Delight
| 3/4 cup raw wild rice |
3/4 cup cherry brandy |
| 2 cups water |
2 bananas (sliced) |
| 1 lb fresh bing cherries (pitted/sliced) |
1 cup sliced almonds |
| 1 cup cream (whipped) |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla |
|
|
Cook wild rice in a covered saucepan until very tender (almost mushy)
about 40-60 minutes. This is very important because the cherry brandy
seems to harden the wild rice. Add cherry brandy and simmer uncovered
until excess moisture is evaporated. Refrigerate. This will keep in the
refrigerator for a week--in the freezer indefinitely.
Pit and slice cherries, slice bananas. Combine with wild rice and almonds.
Whip cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until thick. Set some aside for topping.
Fold whipped cream and wild rice and fruit mixture together. Refrigerate.
Before serving, stir mixture and serve. Top with whipped cream, topped
with almonds and cherries.
