CROCKPOT APPLEBUTTER
7 c. applesauce (or fill your crockpot to the brim w/diced apples)
2 c. apple cider
1 1/2 c. honey
cinnamon
ground cloves (spices to taste 1-2 tsp or more
allspice if you really like something!
nutmeg
grated ginger (optional)
Mix all ingredients and place in crockpot on low and cook 10-12 hrs.
Mixture should be a dark brown, the texture of wet dip or spread.
Pack into clean, sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Makes 4-6 pints. (You can freeze this if you don't want to can it )
I saw many different recipes and some had sugar, cider vinegar,
cinnamon red hots but there was one that added 21 caramels to the batch, that might be my next attempt! Yum...Caramel Apple Butter!
Enjoy! And thanks Eileen for the Harvest Bread it might be my project this weekend!
with a happy heart |

Kathy, It is in the nature of whole wheat to be crumbly. A couple of things that can help:
The addition of about 1/3 white flour to replace about 1/3 of the whole wheat; The use of whole wheat "Pastry Flour." Perhaps if you would share your recipe I could give some suggestions as to the things that might make a difference. Really good Scones are like pie crust, touchy and desire very little handling after the liquid ingredients are added. Always add your butter ice cold and do not add your liquid unless the dry ingredients are cold so if it has warmed place it in the freezer for a few minutes before adding the liquid and gently shaping your circle and gently cutting your wedges and transfering to the hot baking stone or cookie sheet.

This really isnt a recipe, just a really good combo of dishes I came up with. I made a pork roast with pumpkin/chipotle cream sauce, and turnip greens sauteed with garlic on the side.
The roast:
Rub with desired spices, sear in olive oil on all side. Put in crock pot on high for 6 hours or so depending on size.
Sauce:
1 can pumpkin, 1 can chipotle peppers in sauce. 1 cup of milk.
Combine in skillet and heat through, letting it simmer down a little. Can reduce amount of chipotle in it if don't like spicy food.
Side dish:
Saute 3 cloves of garlic in olive oil. I like to use the olive oil in the pan from searing the pork for extra flavor. You can deglaze the pan with a cup of water after heating the pan. Add whole bag, probably 3 cups, choppped turnip greens, cooking just until slightly wilted.
Serve slice of roast pork with sauce dribble on top. Put generous helping of greens on side. You can add rice to this either under the greens or under the pork.
Followup: Put pork bone, chunks of pork and leftover greens in stockpot with a large can of chicken stock and drippings from crockpot. Add other veggies, rice or noodles as desired. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove pork bone. Now have soup. Save leftover sauce for combining with canned diced tomatoes for a different pasta sauce.
Hope people like this combo, we loved it.

Julie--Strange but true...we had pork roast last night and thanks to you I am now making a stew with the leftovers! I love that pumpkin cream sauce and the idea for a second pasta sauce, thanks! I once had crab ravioli with a pumpkin sauce that I could never figure out what was in it, you may have solved the puzzle! Thanks for the ideas they sound...DELICIOUS!

Well, the presents are bought and wrapped and it is time to load up the car and head to my parents for Christmas Eve dinner, then to my fiance's for Christmas. I have a recipe to offer that is always a hit, although it is probably not new to some of you, but perhaps not all. Jalapeno Roll Ups: soft flour tortilla shells, 1 block of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 bunch of chopped green onions, 3 cloves of minced garlic and a package of cilantro that needs to be washed and chopped fine. Mix all in a large bowl, then spread the mix on the tortilla shells, sprinkle chopped pickled jalapenos on top, roll & chill. Slice just before serving. These are cold and creamy and very sneaky also (smile), three will make my forhead start to perspire. Merry Christmas, everyone...

I need to read this in detail too.
I have been meaning to make miso soup. I have had the instant one.
I have been doing lots of pumpkin meals.
Wholemeal Date Scones are my favorite. Not sure where my recipe is, I have seen them online. |

Thanks Floral Saucer! Those look delicious! I am a real scone fan! There is a little coffee shop here where I live that I go to with my daughters sometimes on Saturday mornings that make awesome cranberry walnut scones. The chef won't give me his recipe But this will suffice very well... Thanks again! YUM!

| That's OK. I am not sure that raisins are the same in both countries. We have sultanas and raisins. Raisins are the larger ones. Currants are the tiny dark ones. |

Lori,
Try going to kopycatrecipes.com Look under Bennigans or under soups. I have found "KFC" chicken, Boston Market Cornbread, and was pleased with the result of each recipe.

I am very sure this is not the healthiest recipe (bacon & flour)(butter & half & half) in the world but sure is good
I get the clams at Costco,very inexpensive
Large Pot of Clam Chowder
1 large can clams (approx. 50 oz)
1 large can chicken broth (50 oz)
1 pound bacon sliced small
10 large potatoes peeled and chopped into small cubes
1 pint half and half
1 cube butter (not margarine)
Wondra flour
2 med onions
Drain clams, reserving juice in large pot, add chicken broth to pot, reserving about 2 cups of broth for later, when broth and clam juice come to a boil, add potatoes and cook until almost done.
Rinse clams to remove any sand, set aside
While potatoes are cooking, sautee bacon in large frying pan until almost done but NOT crisp, add chopped onion, sautee until soft. Do NOT drain grease.
Add wondra flour to bacon mix a little at a time, stirring it in until it looks kind of like cookie dough (as if making gravy)
Add bacon mixture to potatoes and broth, bring back to boil, stirring often to prevent burning on bottom.
If the mixture is not thick enough, add about a half cup of Wondra flour to cold, reserved broth, shake until smooth and add to Soup a little at a time while stirring, (again, as if making gravy)
When soup is really thick and hot, add butter, when this is melted into soup, add half and half.
