One of our sponsors shipped us a box of voluptuous, organic Honeycrisp apples. Thanks, Rainier Fruit Company.

And while I did use some of apples themselves, I wanted to try my hand at fresh-pressed apple juice. I don't have a fancy juicer, but I have a blender and a food processor. Turns out that that's all I needed. You'll see this fresh-pressed juice in several of my #AppleWeek creations.

Fresh-Pressed Apple Juice

Ingredients

apples (I used organic Rainier Honeycrisps)
Also needed: a food processor, cheesecloth, colander, mesh strainer

Procedure

Quarter the apples and place them in the bowl of the food processor. I put them in there peel, seeds, and all.

Process until you have a puree. Line your colander with cheesecloth and place the entire thing over a large bowl to catch the juice. You can do this in batches to make it easier to press. Bring the edges of the cheesecloth together so you have all the edges in your hand.

Begin to turn the cloth, forming a ball. As you tighten the ball, the juice will being to extract from the pulp. Keep going until you have gotten as much of the juice from the pulp as you can.

Strain the juice through the mesh strainer into a lidded glass jar. Refrigerate until ready to use. Compost the pulp.

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

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
