Rosy Strawberry Rhubarb Applesauce

Rosy Strawberry Rhubarb Applesauce

This delicious applesauce combines the best of both sweet apples and tangy rhubarb. If you don't have the rhubarb, you can substitute frozen cranberries instead. It is great for freezing, canning, or just eating as soon as it is prepared, warm or cold. Everyone who tries it loves it. It makes great gifts in decorative canning jars!

Perfect Cherry Pie

Perfect Cherry Pie

Cherry pie is just about the easiest fruit pie to make. Sour cherries — the kind you need for pie — are rarely available fresh or frozen, so the canned variety usually is the only option for most cooks. Not only do canned cherries make good pies, but there's also no peeling, coring, seeding, pitting, or slicing the fruit. Just drain, dump, sweeten, flavor, and thicken, and you're in business!

Aburi Steak

Aburi Steak

“Aburi,” the technique applied to this aburi steak, means flame-seared in Japanese. The technique is often applied to raw fish, but it works well for tender, marbled beef cuts, too. A butane torch lets you customize the doneness. Torch less or more depending on how charred you like it.
