Ingredients
  1. 1 Cup Steel Cut Oats
  2. 3 Cups of Apple Cider
  3. 1 Cinnamon Stick
  4. 1/2 Cup of Chopped Dried Apples
  5. 1/4 Cup Chopped Roasted Pecans
  6. Apple Cinnamon Sauce
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil 3 Cups of Apple Cider in a 6 Cup Saucepan, once at a boil add the 1 Cup of Steel Cut Oats and let come back to a boil stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and cover, let stand overnight the stovetop. Place the Pecans in a glass or aluminum pie plate and place the oven for 7 minutes until fragrant. Remove and let cool completely before adding to a zip lock bag. Chop the dried apples and place in a zip lock bag till morning.
  2. In the morning, heat the oats until hot. Serve in a bowl topped with the chopped dried apples and pecans.
Notes
  1. Some people like their oats with a little milk or cream drizzled over the top. Feel free to customize to your liking. If you prefer softer oats, simply add another cup of water to cook your oats. I added dried sour cherries to this oatmeal for a tart note to the sweetness of the apples and concentrated apple cider.

Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce

I had good fortune growing up in New England where cranberries grow wild and are harvested in the fall, just in time for the holidays. We pick wild cranberries near beaches where the low growing bushy plants grow in the sandy soil.

The concept of buying canned cranberry sauce never entered our minds. In preparation for the Thanksgiving, someone always cooked up a fresh pot of cranberry sauce just before the meal is served. Over the years, I’ve experimented with variations on the classic theme of cranberries boiled with water and sugar. Adding apples, pears or quince, mandarins, raspberries, blueberries, pomegranates and warm spices like cinnamon and cloves. This Cranberry Sauce recipe is a primer. By all means, customize this recipe to your personal tastes.
