Apple a Day Toddy
Everyone has heard the old adage: an apple a day keeps the doctor away. During the winter months some of us drink a medicinal toddy every now and then, and I think this variation on the classic imparts an extra level of warmth thanks to the addition of ginger liqueur. The fresh apple cider keeps the flavor bright and, if they're available where you live, use Bittercube blackstrap bitters. The extra bite is a welcome addition, but is not strictly necessary.
Hot Apple Pie
Need a little something to take the chill off? Who am I kidding – it’s cold EVERYWHERE- we ALL need the chill taken off! This should do the trick, and everyone loves apple pie!
grilled apple slices with prosciutto & cheddar
In this Prosciutto Wrapped Apples recipe the nutritional fiber from the apples and protein from the cheese and prosciutto will keep you satisfied. Try it!
Apples Baked in Cider
Apples baked in cider somehow taste more of themselves. It goes without saying that this is comfort food, easy to put together and pop in the oven just as soon as dinner is underway. If possible, use cider from a farm stand or farmer’s market—it has a deeper, more concentrated flavor than the grocery store brands, which wash out in comparison. The comfort extends to those times when you are not eating dessert for self-improvement purposes, but want something just a little sweet. These won’t do much damage. You can even omit the sugar if you want to feel pure. - Sally
Brown Sugar and Spice Apple Pie
José Andrés’ Pico de Gallo
Apple cider cocktail
This drink was inspired by an Apple Cider martini I sampled at our local farmers market and the tradition of a neighbor who offers hot spiked cider to parents of trick or treaters. I tried mixing cold sweet cider with vodka, rum or bourbon. All were good but I liked the Maker's Mark bourbon version best. I used a little cinnamon syrup to add extra sweetness and spice.
Quinoa Oat Apple Crumble
Apple crumbles can be tricky, because the apples tend to dry out in the oven. The way to avoid this problem is to bake them until thoroughly softened before you finish them with the crumble.
Snow White's Apple
My mother always made candied apples for Halloween. She made a huge batch for the neighborhood kids every year. She added red food coloring to make them bright red. I decided that the apples were gorgeous as nature intended so I left that ingredient out. This is so simple it is hardly a recipe...but it is a solid tradition. (the candy thermometer was my mother's at least 40 years ago). I used winesap apples, a US heirloom variety. The trees on our property are over 100 years old. - dymnyno
Thai mango salsa
With summer's rich bounty of fruits, the onus is on me to dream up new ways to use the fruit. Munching on them alone is fine, but some fruits, like mangoes, beg to be gussied up. Per my husband's request, it's usually in the form of mango chicken — a quick stir-fry of chicken, onions and garlic, topped off with mangoes, cilantro and lime juice, served over jasmine rice. But it's hot. Dreadfully so. And so, along the lines of sweating out the heat with heat, I bring you Thai mango salsa.
Spicy Apple Relish
I adapted this recipe from one for Quince relish by Silvena Rowe in her cookbook 'Purple Citrus & Sweet Perfume' because I couldn't get hold of quinces. It's good with lamb but equally nice with cheese and crackers.
Pineapple Basil Sorbet
Pineapple Basil Sorbet recipe that's both refreshing and delicious! It's so easy to make, only three ingredients (plus water). The perfect dessert for summer.
Bitter Apple Cocktail
There are only so many things you can do with apple butter, and I needed to think of all of them. That's because I made the slow-cooker apple butter recipe in the Ad Hoc cookbook, which makes six (delicious!) cups. I theorized that its sweet apple flavor and heavy spice—from cinnamon, allspice, and clove---would go well in a bitter, "serious" winter cocktail. The two spirits that the apple butter brought to mind were dark rum, for its syrupy sweetness, and rye whiskey, for its spice. I rounded out the cocktail with Laird's applejack, and (of course!) bitters. (Angostura would work well, but if you have another variety that is heavier on the sweet spices, go for that.) The apple butter adds body to the drink, and the flavor combination works well—a sort of cold, boozy mulled cider.
Cranberry Salad
My mom has made this for Thanksgiving just about every year. It has a bold taste and almost crunchy texture that makes it a great accompaniment to the less-bold fare on the Thanksgiving table. It is an old school recipe that has stood the test of time for a reason, it's great!
Pineapple Cranberry Deliciousness
My mom always made this on Thanksgiving when I was growing up. I always look forward to seeing the first batch of fresh cranberries arrive so I can get my fix! Mom always made it with walnuts. But, living in TX, I usually use my local pecans. It's all good!
Blueberry Cocktail (Liqueur Drinks)
This Blueberry Liqueur Drinks recipe calls for Mirto di Sardegna Rosso (red Blueberry Liqueur), a very popular liqueur form the islands of Sardinia.
Piña Corada
No blender? No coconut milk? No worries! The Piña Corada captures the delicious fruitiness of the classic cocktail while providing the refreshing taste of a cold beer. Kick your legs up and let yourself be transported to your favorite Caribbean destination!
Tangy Guinness
My mom was the inspiration for this beverage. Being a dark-choco-holic, I'll consume it anyway, any time, any place. She, however, solely enjoys it with fruit...so here's to you mom!
Wild Maine Blueberry Jam
Making homemade blueberry jam is a wonderful way to extend the wild blueberry seasons. This recipe is as easy as it is delicious! Double it for large batches.
Mango Frozen Yogurt
Even though this isn't a true "froyo" it's an awesome healthy dessert that's fast and easy. The consistency should be similar to a soft sorbet. If it's too runny, add more frozen mango chunks. If it's too thick, add more yogurt.
Mixed Grain and Blueberry Muffins
These muffins aren’t at all like the cakey blueberry muffins from your local coffee shop. They have a nice texture and a wholesome, grainy flavor. Better yet, your child will get lots of fruit in each muffin.
Flirtini
Do we really need to wait until the end of the summer for a good cocktail? I like to think of this as the "just because it's Monday" cocktail. There are several variations of this Flirtini drink, that I think was originally featured on Sex and The City. I always err on the simple side. This is ridiculously easy to make (and drink too much of.) Enjoy!
Blueberry Maple Caiprissimo
Banana Bread
Here is an easy way to use up the bananas on the countertop, or brown ones thrown in the back of the freezer. Don’t overmix the ingredients, and make sure the bananas are very ripe.
