Why a PINK chef's coat?

Simply put, I carry my Dad's legacy with me through my cookbook, cooking and everyday I am writing my food columns, he is always with me. I carry my Mom with me through a silent reminder of her struggle with breast cancer that took her life, as well as the lives of many other women who have dealt with, and are still dealing with, this horrible affliction. Besides, why not pink? It makes a man look good!

Quick Apple Butter

I LOVE apple butter but I will never, in a million years, buy it in a store when it is extremely easy and much less expensive to make it at home. Although the classic preparation has you cooking down apples and spices for hours on end in a slow cooker, there is a way to get the same exact results in a fraction of the time. Plus, you can add or subtract certain flavors. Add a pinch of ginger or even a couple tablespoons of canned pumpkin if desired. This spread is great for breakfast on English muffins, sweet muffins, toast or slather some on your next sausage biscuit.

Ingredients

For 1 Batch(es)

Recipe

  • 2 applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice or nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Quick Apple Butter Directions

    Place everything in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When starting to boil, reduce to low and simmer, while stirring frequently, for about 35 minutes, or until darkened and reduced. This apple butter will thicken when cooking and reduce in volume by at least 50 percent. It will continue thickening as it cools in refrigerator as well.
