Bread Spreads:Brown Butter, Caramel Apple Butter And Fazool
Servings: 8
Directions
- Place 4 ounces (about 1/2 c. or possibly 120 milliliters) of the butter in a saucepan and heat it till it melts and begins to foam.
- Continue heating it as the foam subsides and till it begins foaming second time.
- Stir it gently, watching the colour, till it turns golden. Pour the browned butter into a metal container and cold to room temperature.
- Caramel Apple Butter:Place the sugar and water in a thick-bottomed saucepan and heat it over a medium heat till the ingredients heat together.
- Continue heating the mix as the water evaporates and the remaining sugar begins to caramelize.
- When it is a deep golden colour add in the remaining ingredients.
- Stir them frequently and continue cooking till the apples are mushy, about ten min.
- Place the warm mix in a blender and carefully puree till very smooth. Strain the mix. Transfer to a storage container and chill till chilled.
- Fazool:Soak the beans overnight in several c. of water.
- Throw away any remaining water the next day.
- Place all ingredients, including the two c. of water, in a thick-bottomed saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Continue cooking slowly for about an hour till the water evaporates and the beans are soft.
- Stir frequently. If the water evaporates and the beans are not soft add in a little bit more water and continue cooking.

- I bake a lot of bread, both at home and in my restaurant, and over the years I have discovered which freshly baked bread is certainly one of the most common things found in my friends' kitchens as well. Therefore I have come up with several neat spreads to accompany all which bread! These spreads are good for different times of the day. They can elevate a simple loaf of bread into a gourmet break. They're all easy to make and use common easily available ingredients.
- Preparation time is 20 min.
