Pear & Fig Chutney by Amos MillerI still had a few pears from the orchard and the figs are almost finished. Why not a Pear & Fig chutney? Easily done! This is everything a chutney should be. The flavors of the pears, combined with the figs' texture and sweetness, the plump raisins and blend of vinegars easily marry to the aromatic spices. And a quality cracked… |

Reheat, covered, in a microwave oven on full power (100%), stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes. I wouldn't have thought banana would be a positive addition to a sweet potato puree, but it really is. The… |

Recipe of the Week - Keeping It Simple - Easy Appetizers by Dennis Kraus(From the Appetizer Collection at emealsforyou.com) I seem to be on a mission to find easy but good food; maybe it is the unbelievable heat we have been having.

Guacamole from Oaxaca by John SpottiswoodThis is an easy to make, flavorful, and slightly spicy guacamole. Previously I never blended the onion, garlic and cilantro into a puree as this calls for, and I think it does a better job of distributing the flavors evenly.

Warm and serve over ice cream, or use for French toast or your morning breakfast bread.

Quick and Easy Avocado Dip by Sherwin FadenI make this avocado dip often and serve with chips. I often serve a spicy salsa separately. The avocado dip is very light and refreshing. As there are only three ingredients in the recipe, the choice of tomato is very important. Tartness is controlled by how much lime juice you put in. |

Uncle Gary's Apple Pie by J. Gino GenovesiThis pie is "mountain High" when baked by Gary Supeck. This simple recipe is a must for anyone who wants a great tasting quality apple pie. Gary was a Marine and retired railroad worker, and is a talented baker. Try this recipe for a great surprise. I have made a few adjustments but the recipe is pretty much the same. |

My Homemade Apple Butter with Apple Schnapps by Robyn SavoieTwo autumn standards, pumpkin and apple. I joined Schnapps Liquor with apple in this lovely spread. Apple Schnapps really adds a surprising element to this. This spread is wonderful on toast, pancakes, waffles and in pumpkin pie! I might experiment one of these days and see how it would work in traditional apple pie |
