    50+ Make-Ahead Recipes For Your Holiday Table

    Do you feel overwhelmed just thinking about planning a holiday menu? Then you anticipate the exhaustion that comes after the meal has been eaten?

    Within each recipe in this ebook are tips for making the recipe ahead of time to open up space for the people you’re excited to spend the holiday with. Sample menus included, along with mouth-watering photos and tried-and-tested recipes!

    Recipe Ingredients

    Raspberry dip ingredients lined up on a counter.

    Cheddar cheese – Sharp cheddar tastes best for this recipe with a thick or fancy cut. Other varieties of cheese taste great, too, such as monterey jack, colby jack or even pepperjack.

    Mayonnaise – To slim down the recipe, replace half or all of the mayo with Greek vanilla yogurt.

    Pecans – For a nut-free dish, omit the pecans.

    Raspberry preserves – Other preserves or jams work well in place of raspberry, such as apricot or grape. This will alter the taste of the dish, however.

    Ritz crackers – Serve this cold dip with Ritz crackers, for optimal yumminess. Other dipping options: tortilla chips, carrots, celery sticks, pita wedges, pretzels, Wheat Thins or Triscuits.

    How To Make Raspberry Dip

    Mayo, green onion, shredded cheese and pecans in a mixing bowl.

    Step 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the cheese, mayo, pecans and green onions. Beat ingredients until well combined. Spread the creamy mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan.

    Spoon mixing the cheese mixture in a bowl.

    Step 2

    Spread the raspberry preserves over the top in an even layer. Chill for a minimum of one hour before serving. Serve with Ritz crackers.

    • This recipe can easily be made the day prior to serving. Make as directed, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
    • For a flavor boost, substitute half of the mayo with softened cream cheese.

      This is such an unlikely combo that I wasn’t sure it was going to work, but it does! Both my husband and I tried it and were pleasantly surprised. Would be great for gatherings this summer!

        Great question! If you have it in a sealed container, it should be fine in the fridge for 3-5 days.

      This is one of those recipes that sound weird but the ingredients are great together. I have made it for years and it is always a big hit with my guests. I am interested in trying the cream cheese or greek yogurt as a substitute for mayonnaise.

      I’ve had this dip before and it is delish. I wanted it to be moldable so I used approx 2-3 Oz. of softened cream cheese and 2/3 cup mayo instead of the full cup of mayo. I mixed everything else as directed. I lined an oval container with plastic wrap.and packed mixture inside. I refrigerated well and then turned onto an attractive plate. Topped with raspberry jam, fresh raspberries, and finely sliced green onion.

      I make the same recipe but instead of the raspberry jam, which I think may be a little too sweet, I spread a jar of red pepper jelly on top. It is absolutely amazing! It is sweet with a little heat. It will blow your mind!

          if you were going to add cream cheese, how much cream cheese and how much mayonaisse? Can you also use miracle whip

            Hi Terry, great questions! If you were going to substitute cream cheese for mayonnaise, I would say 4oz would be where I started and you could add more. 8 oz would be a cup, but the consistency is different, so it’d be a preference. If you wanted to go half and half, I’d do 4 oz cream cheese and half cup mayonnaise. As to the miracle whip vs mayo, miracle whip has a sweeter tangy flavor compared to mayo. If you already use miracle whip, I think you’d be ok using it and not be thrown off by the flavor. I’d love to hear what you decide and how it turns out! Thanks for reaching out.

      I wonder if anyone has made this with sour cream or maybe 1/2 C sour cream, 1/2C mayo or possibly cream cheese? I’m having a hard time getting past the 1 cup of mayonnaise. Seems like it would be overpowering and taste too much like mayonnaise.

        Hi, I can understand that it seems like a lot. It turns out great, I promise! But I haven’t experimented with your suggestions, but I’d love to hear how they turn out if you do. You could substitute greek plain yogurt, that would be my suggestion. Make sure to let us know how it turns out!

          Sorry, that should have been a five star rating with mayo. Didn’t notice the other two stars weren’t there. A winning recipe. Fun to put in a small spring form pan.
