    New Year's Eve Recipes: BLT Dip, Pizza Chip Dip and Ham Roll-Ups

    Published: Dec 30, 2015 · Updated: Dec 30, 2015 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    Often the Amish enjoy only muted celebrations of secular holidays.  I suppose because many of our holidays have militaristic or political overtones: Memorial Day, Fourth of July and even Labor Day.  But New Year's Day?  That's pure fun.  Many Amish stay up to that appointed hour of midnight to usher in the New Year.  They aren't watching Ryan Seacrest and the falling ball on TV, obviously.  But they are watching the clock and at the stroke of midnight it is not uncommon among the Amish for celebratory shots to be fired into the air outside (very unwise), firecrackers lit,  and horns blown.  The hours leading up to the New Year year are spent with snacks and playing games.   For more Amish, the New Year isn't really a time of reflection and resolutions, it's just a good excuse for an evening of well-earned fun.  Below are some classic "Amish party recipes."  For New Year's Eve, finger foods and dips are staples of the Amish menu.  These are some classics, incorporating bacon, pizza, and in the ham roll-ups, liquid smoke. Liquid smoke is favorite among many Amish cooks.  Enjoy these recipes that come to us from the Amish community of Chouteau, Oklahoma.
