Name one thing, if anything, that you would like to change about your kitchen.
At the east end of the kitchen I would rip out all the cabinets and stove. I would replace it with a 6 burner commercial grade gas stove, with two ovens below. I would put in a huge hood to ventilate, with a stainless steel back splash to hold all my goodies. I loathe my ceramic top electric oven. I should have bought gas when I wanted it!!!! Never second guess. Never let someone talk you out of what you really want when it comes to the kitchen!!! 07:29 - Sunday, October 26, 2008 - comments {1}Interesting tips for milk jugs!35+ Uses for Plastic Milk Jugs 08:23 - Tuesday, September 30, 2008 - comments {0}CARMEL APPLE BUTTERWhen I made this last year I multiplied this recipe by 3.Equipment: LARGE pot to cook in Blender / Food Processor Recipe: 3 lbs peeled, cored and diced apples (I used granny smiths) 1/2 cup water OR apple juice (I used organic apple juice) 2 C sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon 21 carmels Apples and water (or juice) into pot. Medium High heat, cook till tender Remove apples with slotted spoon, process till smooth. THROW AWAY FLUID IN POT. Return the smooth apple mixture to empty pot. Add sugar, stir well, mixture needs to "bubble" (come to slow boil) Reduce heat and simmer. Stir frequently until mixture is thick and has a spreadable consistency. Add ginger, cloves and cinnamon. Mix well Add carmels Stir until all carmels are totally melted. Put mixture into jars leaving 1/2 inch head space. Water bath for 15 min wala This is a very sweet apple butter. Almost like a desert. The kids at work LOVED it. This is a bit more labor intensive. Well worth it. 07:56 - Thursday, September 18, 2008 - comments {5}ALL DAY APPLE BUTTER RECIPEYields 4 pints, but I use 8 half pint jars.Equipment needed: Crock pot Recipe: 5 1/2 pounds of peeled, cored and finely chopped apples (I used Cortland apples) 2 1/2 Cups of sugar (I used 1 3/4 Cup of raw honey) 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon salt Put apples in crock pot. Mix sugar, cinn, cloves, and salt in a bowl. Pour over apples and mix well. Cover apples and cook on HIGH for 1 hour. Turn on low 8-10 hours (depending on how hot your crock gets) When the mixture has thickened and dark brown, remove the lid and stir like you mean it with a wire whisk, to reach your desired smoothness. Cook uncovered 1 more hour. Spoon into hot clean canning jars. Water bath for 15-20 min. It is very delicious. I did one batch with sugar and one with honey. The honey batch has a 'smoother' sweetness. Our family prefers it. The sugar batch is equally yummy!! 07:42 - Thursday, September 18, 2008 - comments {0} |
