Sweet Apple Butter
Do you still have apples hanging out in your fridge from apple season? We can’t think of a better way to use up those apples than sweet, thick apple butter. Try it stirred into hot cereal, serve it alongside pork chops, or make apple pie sundaes by spooning it over vanilla ice cream.
Apricot, Cherry and Pear Compote
Tender pears, tart cherries and bright apricots are slow cooked to create a delicious fruit dessert.
