Applesauce
Submitted
by: Merribuck |
8
apples
(mix them up each: 2 Jonna Gold, 2 Gala, 2 Granny Smith, 2 Fuji)
1/2 cup sugar |
1 cup
water or juice (I use pineapple)
1 cinnamon stick
red hots, to taste (I use about 15) |
Peel apples and
cut into small pieces. Place in ice water until finished.
Transfer apples to a heavy dutch oven. Add sugar, cinnamon stick
and liquid. Cook until apples fall apart and applesauce is at
desired consistency. Add red hots. Serve warm over pork chops,
ham, etc.
Note: Applesauce can be used as a side dish or a
condiment. This is a great do-ahead side dish that freezes
beautifully. |

8 to
10 cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup Olive oil
4 russet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter |

for marinades or vinaigrettes). Purée garlic; set aside.
Meanwhile, prick potatoes with a fork and bake in a 400°F oven
for 1 hour, or until soft. While still hot, peel and mash, or
pass through a potato ricer. Melt butter in heavy cream; whisk
in puréed garlic. Stir into potatoes. Stir in cheeses and season
with salt and pepper. Spoon into a gratin dish. Place in a 400°F
oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until browned and bubbling. |

by: Barbiel |
1/4 cup butter
1 large onion, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 cups crumbled cornbread
3 cups soft bread crumbs |
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 pint shucked oysters, drained
1/2 cup oyster liquid from drained oysters |
|
Preheat oven to 350°F. Sauté onions and celery in 2 tablespoons
of the butter until wilted, not browned. Combine cornbread and
bread crumbs in a large bowl. Mix in sauteed onions, salt and
pepper and parsley. Add beaten eggs and toss more; moisten with
the oyster liquid until moist but not soggy. Add the oysters.
Put the mixture into a lightly buttered rectangular cake pan (it
should make a 1-inch layer in the pan). Dot with remaining
butter and bake about 45 minutes, until golden brown and set in
the center. |
