Savory Curry Apple Butter


Inspired by the Pink Pearl apples I picked up during our Scotts Valley Farmers Market adventure yesterday, I decided to do something savory: curry apple butter. Not bad! I did a small batch, in case it was disastrous. This filled three 4-oz jars. I will be making something sweet with the rest of my loot this evening.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 C butter
  • 1" piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 t Thai curry powder (use whatever you have)
  • 1/2 t ground ginger
  • 4 Gala apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 Pink Pearl apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 C water
  • 1 T ginger syrup
  • 1/2 t freshly ground salt


Procedure
In a large flat bottom pan, melt your butter and cook your fresh ginger until it's softened. Whisk in the curry powder and ground ginger.


Add in your apples and stir to coat with the curry mixture.


Pour in your water and ginger syrup. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the apples are easily mashed.


Smash apples with a potato masher until the consistency you want. I like mine a little bit chunky. You can use a blender or food processor if you want it less rustic!


Spoon into sterilized jars and water process if you want to store in your pantry. Or simply refrigerate and use within 2 weeks. You'll see this on top of grilled pork chops tonight...and used with a savory apple bread soon.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
