This Italian apple recipe is adapted from one in Saveur magazine. I thought the use of red wine in an apple pie was interesting; you may, too. Great use to use up the end of a bottle. Any of the tarter apples in your box will work here.
This recipe just showed up today in my inbox in an email from Whole Foods so I haven’t tried it yet. The quantities seem a little fiddly to me – I am always scratching my head over a recipe that calls for 1/2 cup of something plus 2 tablespoons – always figure I can skip the 2 tablespoons and usually it turns out fine. Anyway – I liked the idea of apples and gingerbread, so I’m going to give this a try. But probably with a little more apple and with regular whole wheat flour rather than the pastry flour called for.
This very simple salad comes from Fine Cooking magazine. The simplest way to “roast” a beet is to cut off the leaves, leaving about an inch of stem, scrub the beet and put it into some covered container in your microwave, making sure the beet is still wet. Steam for as long as it takes it to get tender, which is going to vary by the size of the beet. 10 minutes? 20 minutes? Depends. Carefully remove from the microwave and let it cool. Properly done, the skin just peels right off. No muss, no fuss.
Is there anyone who doesn’t love macaroni and cheese? Ok, vegans. But otherwise ….? Here’s a version with apples. It came from Better Homes and Gardens. I always love the combination of cheddar and apples. Now here it is baked into comfort food. The springform pan is just to make for a pretty presentation. Bake it in a casserole and spoon it out if there’s no 10-inch springform pan in your cupboard.
Last week we had an apple-cheddar pie recipe. This week it’s apples and hot pepper jelly. The idea came from Moore Farms and Friends, written in their style.
I’m pretty certain I’ve never offered a chicken liver recipe in these notes. But why not? Here’s one from “A Great American Cook: Recipes from the Home Kitchen of One of Our Most Influential Chefs by Jonathan Waxman with Tom Steele (Houghton Mifflin Company, 2007).
I did not make up this recipe! I think it came from a very broad-based consumer magazine like Better Homes & Gardens. One little jalapeno provides just a hint of heat. Try it!
Sorry, no idea where I found this recipe, but it’s simple and delicious. I love the combination of sausage, apples and a blue cheese. Great for a quick weeknight dinner.
Stuffed pork chops always seem so complicated, but they’re really not. Do you have a couple of beautiful Riverview pork chops around? If not, I bet there’ll be some at the one of weekend farmers markets or on the Farm Mobile.
And this recipe is from “The Apple Lover’s Cookbook” by Amy Traverso. It makes 9 cinnamon buns and not a hint of yeast to be found.
