Recipes


Halloween party at Guides last night.  I made some caramel apples.  Really easy and doesn’t need store-bought caramels.

Caramel Apples
makes 12
1 cup butter                                            1 cup corn syrup
2 1/4 cup brown sugar                         1 can condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla
Put everything (except vanilla) in a large pot.  Stir to dissolve the sugar.  Boil without stirring until it measures 248F on a candy thermometer.
Let cool 2 minutes.  Add vanilla.  Dip apples and place on a lined cookie sheet.
I found a really good sticks to use for the apples.  They sell them at the dollar store and call them skewers.  They worked great and were much cheaper than ‘official’ candy apple sticks.

This is called ‘steak’ spice but I use it just about any time some meat needs some seasoning.  I used it on the chicken I made on Monday.  Just take your chicken pieces, sprinkle them with the seasoning and toss them on a shallow pan and roast for an hour at 350F
Steak Spice
10 tsp salt                                   3 tsp black pepper                               4 tsp onion powder (NOT salt)
2 tsp thyme                                2 tsp rosemary                                     4 tsp garlic powder (NOT salt)
I mix it up and keep it in a glass jar so it’s always ready.
