Spiced Applesauce

September 28, 2006


I don’t think there is any other way to eat applesauce than freshly made with fresh local apples and spiced to taste. I have one of the metal thingamabobby’s that attached to the counter or table edge and you pop an apple on, turn the crank and the handy-dandy thing peels, cores and slices for you! If you ever find one (some New England based yankee gear-type magazines have been known to carry them)

Spiced Applesauce-for the slow cooker

10-12 apples-peeled, cored and sliced (I did enough to completely fill my slow cooker)
1/2 cup apple cider

slow cook on low until soft, a few times throughout the cooking time. When the desired consistency is reached add cinnamon and other desired spices. As mentioned below in my apple crisp entry I love a pinch of speculaaskruiden in with my apples.

SAMHUINN: Autumn Cider Chops

October 6, 2005

1-inch thick pork chops
2 C. apple cider
4 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
1/2 C. chopped yellow onion
1/2 C. chopped celery
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. cinnamon
8 clove (optional)
2 T. brown sugar or maple syrup (optional)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/4 C. all-purpose flour
Light cooking oil

Trim excess fat from chops. Dredge chops in flour, salt and pepper. Fry to a golden brown in oil. Place chops in crockpot, layering the vegetables and sugar in between and on top. Pour cider over the smothered chops and cook on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours. Add seasoning in the last 30 minutes of cooking for best flavor.

Serve with rice and applesauce.
