Apple Recipes for Sabbats and Anytime this Fall

These are worth printing out and keeping year after year. Who doesn't love spiced cider on a chilly day? The smell alone has been known to bring my men to their knees.

The spiced cider is wonderful in a crock pot, scenting the air while a sabbat takes place, and makes the best libation to serve with pre-made apple fritters.

Baked apples are a treat anyone can make in a hurry. Keep some delicious red globes around for quickie dessert to go with some of my other recipes.

Roast Pork with Mushroom Butter Sauce

If you don't have dry white wine, apple juice or chicken broth will work.

Recipe: Creamy Squash Soup

So...what's everyone doing for Mabon? We do a fruit bowl and a squash soup or casserole. This recipe is so beloved, it's in my BOS to pass down.

Creamy Squash Soup

4 cups cooked mashed butternut squash (you can substitute 2 cups of cooked mashed acorn sqash for 2 cups of the butternut)
2 cans (14 oz ea) of ready-to-serve chicken broth
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup whipping cream, divided
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Process half of the first 5 ingredients in a food processor or blender and pour into a large saucepan. Repeat with the remaining half. Bring to a boil over medium heat; gradually stir in half of the whipping cream, and cook until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat. Beat remaining whipping cream at high speed until stiff peaks form. Dollop on each serving of soup. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Makes about 7 cups.

Recipe: Apple Oat Bread

I love my bread machine.

Herb of the Month-- Garlic

Garlic is very good for you! Don't forget a garlic braid made from sprouted garlic to hang in your kitchen. Just don't eat it. Replace every fall.

Recipe: Pork with Apple-Nutmeg Sauce

This is delicious! I chopped the apple in my food processor, then added previously chopped onion and garlic and pulsed a few minutes.
