14 weeks. baby number 2 gets belly pictures taken in the reflection of the microwave. how special. |
While unpacking books this past week I was excited to see my cookbooks again and am anticipating a day in the very near future where I get back to making some tasty things.
This weekend I got back into it a bit with many failed attempts. I'm so off my game. I made my go-to pancakes with Anderson and seriously messed them up. I'm not even quite sure what happened but they were not good. I also made guacamole which is usually an easy no-fail winner, added too much salt, and found it inedible. We had brats last night and I didn't cook them enough. I need help. I need to get back to using my cooking brain.
All that to say I had some encouragement from Musselman's to cook up Honey Apple Butter Baked Beans thanks to a jar of Apple Butter they sent my way and I can say these actually turned out right. They were a crowd pleaser and I think would be a nice dish to bring to a BBQ because who doesn't like homemade baked beans?
Here's the recipe, thanks to and loosely adapted from Musselman's. Hooray.
{Ingredients You'll Need}
- 1 cup Musselman's Apple Butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1 can great northern beans, drained, rinsed
- 1 can black beans, drained rinsed
- 1 can red or pinto beans drained, rinsed
1. Heat the oven to 375. Mix all the ingredients except the beans in a large bowl then add in the beans. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish or casserole and bake for 50-60 minutes until hot and bubbly!
Serves 8.
Well that sounds interesting. Wouldn't have thought of putting apple butter in baked beans. Will have to give it a try.
