Delicio Recipe List

This month in the Food in Jars Food Mastery Challenge, we are featuring jellies and shrubs. I made Cherry Jelly, so I saved the actual cherries and used them in this chutney! Think about Easter and the Lamb and Mint Jelly combo you've always heard the hype about? How about Lamb (or pork loin, ham or chicken) and this Cherry~Apple Jalapeno Chutney?!?  Cherries strained from the jelly. Since the cherries had already cooked down in the jelly, I combined the other ingredients to cook down and soften.  ... then I added the cherries. Take out the cinnamon stick before canning.  It looks like this when it's finished. You can see a bit of jalapeno sitting on top of an apple in the picture. Cherry~Apple Jalapeno Chutney 1lb cherries, pitted, coarsely chopped 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1 tart apple (such as Granny Smith), finely chopped 2 or 3 chopped jalapenos, or to taste 1/3 cup cider vinegar 3/4 teaspoon mustard seed 1/4 teaspoon allspice 1(4-inch) cinnamon stick In ...

I'm going to interrupt Pumpkinpalooza briefly for an apple crisp recipe. This was served at a recent dinner with family and friends. What I find interesting about it is that it includes graham crackers. But most importantly, this apple crisp is delicious comfort food.

Finely chop graham crackers with food processor (I just put them in a Ziploc bag and rolled with a rolling pin). Combine crumbs, sugar, oats, flour, and spices. Add butter and mix well.

Microwave on high for 12-15 minutes, or until apples are tender; turn dish after 6 minutes. (I wanted the topping somewhat crisp and my dish didn't fit in my mi...
