It's that time of year again, when the weather gets cold enough to break out the GraniteWare roaster, and make a gigantic batch of my infamous AppleJack Baked Beans. Basically, it's a doctored version of Boston Baked Beans, but instead of cooking the beans in water, you use a half gallon of Apple Cider and add Apple Butter along side the molasses and brown sugar. I've been making these for about 10 years now, and I've finally got the recipe perfect. When finished, I have enough to freeze, and eat over the course of the following year.

Making them a little bit earlier this year as last year's batch ran out last week. It's been cooking for a little over three hours now and the house is starting to get that autumn cooking smell.
This sounds so good. Did you/will you put up a recipe?

I made chicken soup with zucchini and spinach and no one raised an eyebrow. I guess I've been serving this kind of stuff long enough now that I've worn them down. :D

Just found this website

A lot of good homestyle recipes. I'll be tweaking some of these recipes in the near future.  :)

I'm sorry OAD, I didn't see this. I haven't gotten around to typing it out, I'll post it sometime early next week.

Looking forward to it, thanks! :)  And anytime is good - until spring, at least, when I'll feel less in the mood.  For now, the weather suits it perfectly and it will do so for the next several months. Cold and rain has finally hit the Pacific Northwest.

Having a little mid-afternoon hurricane snack...Blueberry Port Wine and Blueberry Wensleydale Cheese...very tasty and a good way to pass the time while the weather howls outside.
