Spicy Apple Salsa
Posted by Tracy | Filed under canning
I was a little bummed that this month’s Tigress Can Jam theme wasn’t apples, since I’ve been canning them like crazy – namely my apple maple butter, which is my dad’s personal favorite. Alas, the theme was chili peppers, although any fruit of the plant family capsicum was eligible for use in our recipes. I [...]

Caramel-Apple Pie
Posted by Tracy | Filed under desserts & sweets
In the spirit of all the apple picking we did a few weeks ago with friends and the baking session that ensued afterward (for the girls, anyway), we made several apple pies. I think the total count of baked goods made was six pies and one crisp…in addition to the doughnut holes, of course. The [...]
Apple Cider Doughnut Holes

Hubby and I went apple picking with friends over the weekend, and we picked a TON of Honeycrisp, Cortland, and Empire apples – even after making a batch of apple maple butter, it looks like I barely made a dent in our bounty! We had a great time picking and going out for lunch, and [...]

Remember when I posted about the doughnut muffins, which I decided were my new favorite kind of muffin? Well, I may have spoken a bit too soon. My baking friend Becky made these caramel-apple muffins based on a recipe from my Taste of Home Fall Baking issue, and they are so addictive, we haven’t been able to stop [...]

Aside from the homemade vanilla extract, probably my favorite items in mine and hubby’s homemade Christmas gift baskets were our butters, jellies, and jams. From left to right in the picture, we made pumpkin butter, pomegranate jelly and apple-cinnamon jam. It was my first time canning with my new water bath canner, and I had [...]

Apple Strudel
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breakfast & brunch, desserts & sweets
This is my last installment of What To Do With All That Leftover Puff Pastry. Promise. Because even though I’ve discovered that I really enjoy making (and eating) puff pastry, it’s definitely one of those “once in a while” kind of treats. There’s really nothing fancy about this strudel; it’s a very basic one that [...]
