Story behind the song
Inspired by a 1970s recipe from Kraft and Dole, this is #10 of my Foodist Songs series.
Lyrics
SPOKEN OVER JINGLE BELLS:
Do you think I could sub pecans for the almonds?
I dunno; it's clear that skilled food scientists worked long and hard perfecting this recipe. Might be dangerous to tinker with a dish so carefully constructed.
Bring on the Yule Log and let the feast begin
With the special blend of spice of Miracle Whip
Salad dressing from Kraft
But wait, theres more: the sweet taste of Dole Blue
Label sliced pineapple
But wait, still more: 1/4 cup honey, 1 cup quartered
maraschino cherries, 2 cups whipping cream, whipped
Together they make a Yule Log youll love
Together they make a Yule Log youll love
Drain pineapple reserving 1/4 cup syrup.
Combine salad dressing, reserved syrup,
Cherries, almonds and honey; Fold in the whipped cream
Alternate layers of salad dressing mixture and sliced pineapple in 2-lb.

To unmold: run spatula around inside of can, cut bottom from can

Sprinkle with additional almonds and garnish with mint, if desired.

Bring on the Yule Log and let the feast begin.
