Apples
DenverPost’s 2022-10-25 Life and Culture has apples as savory accompaniment to Roasts. Specific to Pork roast. What is your thought on fruit with Roasted meats? Hmm. For myself – the twist here – is to keep the apples roasted on the savory path, Not sweet.
Bill continues to expand that there are 8,000 varieties of apples. I also am on the apple bus and like round numbers (not 8,001 varieties).

Braised Red Cabbage and Apples.
Everything turns to pumpkin spice means – Fall Is Here.! Red Cabbage this way is Aromatic and Flavorful
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red Cabbage
- 3 Tbsp Bacon Drippings
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch blk ppr
- 1 cup redwine
- 1 Tbsp Cider Vinegar
- 2 Apples unpeeled and sliced thin.
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
Instructions
- The Red Cabbage is sliced thin. (Note… Often i will use the mandolin to get the slices consistently really thin. I like getting the pan hot, adding the bacon dripping – not to smoking hot – and adding the cabbage. Season with the salt and pepper. Deglaze the pan with red wine and vinegar. Add the brown sugar and cover quickly. and let the cabbage cook for about 5 minutes. Add the apple and cover again for about 10 minutes.
Notes
recipe note: this is my adaptation of Grandma Dorthy’s Braised Red Cabbage recipe… I think she used more vinegar and less redwine – or what was on hand..
