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.

Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned Way by Amos MillerI have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa.

MANGO PUDDING by Linda Tay EspositoA newer addition to the dim sum repertoire, the mango pudding is influenced by Western desserts techniques (since the Chinese are not too big on desserts!

Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad FoodieI haven’t found a quicker apple crisp recipe that tastes as good (or better) than oven-baked. Simple prep and fast cooking make this a perfect dessert when you’re short on time. Plus you can make it year round as the microwave won't heat up the kitchen. |

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 |

Asian Ginger Apricot Sauce/Glaze by Bob VincentThis recipe is adapted from one by Julie Campoy in her book Julienne. The original called for more Asian chili garlic sauce which is very spicy. Since my wife doesn't care for really hot spices I cut back on it some. For me the more heat the better; but like they say--"Happy wife, happy life." This sauce is good on almost… |

Budwig Diet Smoothie by John SpottiswoodSomeone turned me on to Dr. Johanna Budwig recently. I read a bit about her research and her diet online. While there isn't a lot of hard evidence behind it, she was definitely ahead of her time in recognizing the importance of good fats, and the harmful effects of bad fats, in our modern diets. She strongly encouraged the… |
