Brandy Brown Sugar Apple Butter

Growing up we had an pippen apple tree. The apples are tasty and tart, perfect for baking.

In addition to my overflowing bookshelf of cookbooks (an entire bookshelf, not just one shelf on it) I have a collection of recipes caught my eye that I saved from magazines and other articles. I used to keep them in binders, but a few years ago streamlined and [...]
