Short-Cut Spiced Apple ButterApple butter is autumn in a jar.  I love it spread on toast, or along side slices of pork.  It’s comforting and just plain, delicious.  But, it can be quite a bit of work, and you know The Goddess is one lazy…uh, well, Goddess.  So, she came up with this version and she’s happy to report, it’s delicious.  Continue reading →

Creamy Russian DressingRussian dressing?  No.  This is really more of a spread or dip.  It’s this creamy version that absolutely makes a perfect Reuben sandwich.  I love Reuben sandwiches.  I think they are my favorite grilled sandwich and largely it’s because of a good, thick schmear of this little bit of heaven.  This is pretty decent on a burger and it absolutely makes a roast beef sandwich.  Oh, yeah…you can actually dress a salad, with it too!

Onions, Apple and Mushroom Compote (for Pork)The mixture of onions, apples and mushrooms is a winning combination.  I love this combination with pork or roasted chicken.  This is particularly nice, because you can make it ahead and reheat it.  I think it’s even better reheated, making it perfect for company.  And, this compote positively screams autumn!  Continue reading →

Muscadine Grape PreservesThe Goddess has always been a huge believer in sampling local products and cuisine.  She was there long before it became a “thing”.  But, she’s darned glad it did become a thing.  To that end, she found some Muscadine grapes at the Farmer’s Market.  They are pretty much a wild grape, that’s indigenous to the Southern part of the US, in particular North Carolina.  So she bought herself some and made preserves.  Continue reading →
