Caramel Apple Sauce
Directions; In a medium sauce pan cook apples in butter over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in whipping cream and apple or apple juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
Candied Nuts
directions: 1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a baking sheet with foil; butter the foil. Set baking sheet aside. 2. Spread pecan halves into a shallow baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring once. 3. Meanwhile, heat sugar in a medium heavy skillet over medium- high heat, shaking skillet occasionally to heat sugar evenly. Do not stir. Heat until some of the sugar melts ( it should look syrupy); begin to stir only the melted sugar to keep it from over browning, Stir in remaining sugar as it melts. Reduce heat to medium - low; continue to cook until all sugar is melted and golden, about 5 minutes. Add butter to melted sugar in skillet, stirring until butter melts and mixture is combined. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Add warm nuts to skillet, stirring to coat. Pour nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Cool completely. Break apart. |
