6 oz. Orange Juice Concentrate (Frozen)
6 Allspice (Whole)
6 Cloves (Whole)
3 sticks Cinnamon
1 cup Brown Sugar (Packed)
1 tsp. Nutmeg (Ground)

Directions: Mix all items together.  Be sure to tie the cloves and allspice in cheesecloth to avoid people getting a "special" treat in their cup.  Heat the mixture on low heat or in a Crockpot.  Stir occasionally.

Ingredients:

6 apples, Apple Hill Golden Delicious
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 TBS. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
dash nutmeg
dash salt
3 TBS. butter
Pastry dough for 2-crust 9 inch pie or box of puff pastry

Preparation:
1. Peel and core apples.
2. Combine sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Divide pastry dough into 6 equal pieces. If using puff pastry cut dough into approximately 5 X 5 inch squares. Roll each piece out to approximately 6 inches to enclose the whole apple entirely.
4. Place apple in center of each pastry square. Fill each core with the sugar-spice mixture. Dot each apple with ½ TBS. of butter.
5. Bring up corners of pastry to cover the apple. Press edges together, using a little water if necessary to stick. Turn upside down and place on cookie sheet.
6. Decorate tops with pastry scraps cut in leaf shapes. Egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Egg wash will act as glue for leaves.
7. Using paring knife make 2-3 vent holes in top of apple.
8. Bake 40-50 min. in 375 oven until dumplings are light brown and apples are tender.
9. Serve warm with Grandpa’s Cellar Apple Cinnamon Sauce (made with Barsotti Apple Cider; see below) and vanilla ice cream.

1 onion, peeled and cut into eighths

To prepare on stovetop, place meat, apple juice, brown sugar and mustard in large covered stockpot, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes per pound of meat. Add vegetables for last half hour of cooking.

Ingredients:

2 medium sugar pumpkins (others varieties OK ... but not the best)
3 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
2 large leeks, chopped
1-2 large red bell pepper(s), chopped
2 cups Barsotti Carrot Juice (add more to taste)
48 oz can of chicken broth
16 oz sour cream
2 tblsp Cajun or Mexican style seasoning
1 cup masa corn flour
2 tblsp butter
1 cup cilantro
2 tblsp green Tabasco (use more is you like)
Salt and pepper as needed

Directions:
Gut, skin and chop pumpkins into one inch cubes. Boil in water in large soup pot until soft. Drain water. (Note: You can also bake the pumpkin to remove the skin and soften the pumpkin meat.)

Melt butter in large pan under medium heat. Add the leeks and red pepper. Sauté until soft. Add corn and cilantro … and cook for 5 minutes more.

Pour above veggie mix into soup pot with pumpkin. Add chicken broth and Cajun/Mexican style seasoning. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Remove pot from heat and let cool for at least 15 minutes. Ladle the soup mix into a blender and liquefy. Pour each blender full into a separate holding bowl until all the soup is mixed. HOT: Be careful not to splash yourself. Pour the blended mixture back into the soup pot. Put on low heat.

Add the "masa" flower (corn flour; more to thicken as needed), Tabasco, and sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.

Serve in hollowed out pumpkins or bread bowls (regular bowls are OK too), garnish with a cilantro sprig and swirl extra sour cream on top for color.
