Alright, here’s an old fall favorite. Apples and Sausage. Fry sausage and set aside. Apple cider reduced down to about 1/3 with a good amount of sage, garlic and cayenne. Apples cooked in butter until soft then everything gets put back together to warm through. Served over pancakes.  what

Which apples (please say Granny Smith!)and what kind of sausage?  Looks and sounds good.  Sweet and savory is a great way to go.

I used Honeycrisp apples and Johnsonville plain breakfast sausage links. Honeycrisp are a little too sweet. I think I’d use something else next time.

Granny Smith is my go to cooking apple.  Always crisp and tart.  Great apple flavor.

Hard to go wrong with pork & apples, or steak & potatoes.

Yeah, this one’s a winner. Lots of sage takes the sweet cider into the savory side. The garlic seems out of place on paper, but it really works in this. Sweet and savory and salty and pork and a little fat. Awfully good, but a little goes a long way.

2 pork butt with big chunks of garlic stuck in are in the smoker for tomorrow.  Low and slow. Only other seasoning is some weird looking Hawaiian salt, looks like red dirt, but that was what wife wanted on it.  I think the plan is to take some home made bbq sauce and brew up a cup or so of crazy stout kona coffee to add to it for the final result of pulled pork.  Hopefully I will remember to take a photo or 2.  Right now, after mowing and working on food plot and some fence my recliner has me trapped.  Bummer.

The butt are now bacon ed and bagged with coca cola to marinate in, on their way to that magic temp so they pull apart easy.  Oh and wife says NO to th kona coffee bbq sauce.  If I had my way it would have gotten injected with marinade and into the bag would have gone some apples from the orchard.  But sometimes you just have to do what you are told.

I have started a meatloaf that I will roast this evening. The recipe is here:

I will mustard paint rather than barbecue paint this time.

Making stuffed bell peppers to go on the egg later.

I like the meatloaf recipe and will have to try it. I have a meatloaf recipe with all the same ingredients except take out the sour cream and add half a bottle of guinness extra stout. Use the drippings and the other half of the beer and thicken to pour on top of the meat and potatoes. I think I only cook mine for about an hour.

I do love stuffed peppers.  Bell peppers tend to attack me later though.
