Apple Perserve Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on May 7, 2019 in Uncategorized

This recipe comes straight from my Mother-in-law.  From a young girl she collected so many recipes, and decided to make her own little cookbook.  Of course, once I caught eye of this I went straight for it :).   I am very lucky in regards to having this woman in my life, a very special lady.  Anyway I have been watching her cook for many years and one recipe that I always found interesting is this Apple Preserve recipe.

It is very simple to make but there is a twist to it.  She always added 2 dashes of Rum.:).  It tastes delicious…..that’s if you like Rum, otherwise it taste delicious without the Rum.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    A dash or rum and a scoop of ice cream make it all better 🙂
