The next mention on page 41 in the magazine features a holiday food memory from our namesake, Shirley J. You know, the real Shirley J!

Holiday Food Traditions in Utah Valley Magazine Nov/Dec 2009 Issue

Shirley shared a holiday food memory that she and Don (the original found and food developer of Shirley J products) came up with when they first were married:

Holiday Food Traditions in Utah Valley Magazine Nov/Dec 2009 Issue - Shirley Smith (close up)

Shirley Smith

“A tradition my husband Don and I started after we got married involved a delicious Christmas breakfast of pork pie – a recipe from Don’s mother. It’s a family favorite that everyone loves and looks forward to. We’d wake up, open presents and then enjoy pork pie – it took care of breakfast and the family had fun. The great thing about pork pie is that you can make it ahead of time and just warm it up in the morning – and you know how that is on Christmas morning with children! What makes this pie so special besides the tender ground pork roast and the perfectly flaky pie crust is my chili sauce, which includes tomatoes, Granny Smith apples, onions, red peppers cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pickling spice. Something about the combination of the two keeps everyone looking forward to the savory sweet aroma of Christmas morning.”

- Shirley Johnson Smith, namesake of Shirley J

…and you should know that she and Don used Shirley J Pork Slow Cooker & Dutch Oven Seasoning to season the pork roast. We should have that recipe up on our site shortly.
