This sauce is so versatile it tastes good on any kind of meat. Makes a great BBQ sauce or Marinade. Grill it, bake it, even in slow-cooker recipes this one is a real winner. You can also make it in advance and store in the refrigerator to save time. Makes a great marinade too. 1 can 14 1/2 oz. chopped tomatoes 3 strips roasted red peppers (I used Vlasic) 1 cup pure maple syrup 2 Tablespoons deli spicy brown mustard 1 Tablespoon soy sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic power 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger Mix all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth. Place meat of your choice (chicken, fish, pork, turkey, or beef) in a zip top bag. Pour 3/4 of the marinade in the bag and seal bag getting as much of the air out as possible. Reserve the remain marinade for basting by pouring it in a sealed container and store in refrigerator. Place marinade bag in a pan or flat dish and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours. Flip bag over at least one time during the marinading process. ~Marsha...

This recipe is simple and delicious! One of the many perks of making an apple crips is it makes your whole house smell good. Your family will think you’ve been baking all day! 🙂 6 Granny Smith apples juice of 1/2 a lemon 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Topping: 1 cup plain flour 3/4 stick of cold butter 3/4 cup sugar 1 pinch of salt 1 cup quick cooking oats (not instant) In a large bowl peel, core and cut apples into chunks. Pour lemon juice over them and toss to coat. This will keep your apples from turning dark. Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl and pour over apples. Toss to coat. Pour apples into an 8 X 11 in baking dish and try to level them out with your hand making the top surface as flat as you can. For topping: Cut cold butter into chunks and put in a medium sized bowl along with flour. With a pastry blender cut until butter resembles the size of small peas. Pour in sugar, salt and oats and stir until mixed. Pour topping evenly over apples and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Although this dessert is wonderful by itself, a little scoop of vanilla ice cream never hurts! ~Marsha...
