Where there’s smoke…..

Apple butter. Apple butter is a very tasty jam-like substance that's great on cornbread. The recipe I’ve used before was for a slow cooker, but I decided to alter it a little bit to use the oven instead. Well, all was going smoothly (and smelling heavenly) so we decided to watch a movie to pass the time. We hadn’t gotten too far when I thought I smelled smoke. We dashed to the hall and had to fight our way through a thick, acrid cloud . The apple butter was reduced to a dark, apple caramel/glue. Apparently, when you cook, you’re supposed to check the progress once in a while. Hmmmm.

Well, needless to say it’s ruined but we had a pretty good laugh about it – now to clean the oven!



(Tanya and Sean thought it might make a good ice cream topping. That theory didn’t last too long).
