Pam's Cooked Celery-Amish Style image

If I remember correctly, I found this recipe in the book by Beth Wiseman, Plain Perfect (Daughters of the Promise, Book 1). It said that this dish is traditionally served at Amish wedding dinners with roast turkey. I thought it sounded good (I am into anything German sweet and sour) so I made a batch. Surprised the heck out of me...

The celery was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of celery, but I actually enjoyed this dish. The celery was cooked perfectly and the bacon and onion added a lot of flavor.

This Amish-style cooked celery was a delightful surprise! The celery retained its crunch while absorbing the savory flavors of the bacon and onion. It was a perfect side dish to our roasted chicken dinner.
