We are excited to announce that coming this Spring to the Applesauce Inn Bed and Breakfast we will be making and selling our own home made jams. All of our jams are made with local fresh fruit, organic sugar and organic lemon juice. That is it! We make our jams in small batches, just 6 at a time and of course will be seasonal based on what is available. So plan on taking a jar or 2 home with you to enjoy!<br />

Although we still have about a foot and 1/2 of snow on the ground, the promise of spring is everywhere here at the Applesauce Inn B&B! Spring cleaning, fresh paint and new linens are all hints to the coming of the new season! The sun light lingers a bit more in the evening and every day new birds are spotted at our numerous bird feeders out back. Soon the many daffodils, tulips, lilies and anemones I planted last fall will be gracing us with their beautiful little faces and the blue birds will be singing again! <br />

I spent this week in various meetings for several of our local community organizations -Bellaire Chamber, Parkside Arts Council and Destination Bellaire, but the one I am most excited about is our new Community Garden planned for the town of Mancelona! <a href="http://www.artmeetsearth.org/">Institute for Sustainable Living, Art, Natural Design</a> is one of our local organizations that features workshops on gardening, beekeeping and local food. They, like me, are supporters of the local food movement that is very important to our local economy (as well as for our health and general well-being)....and have worked with several towns to create both community and school gardens. I am thrilled to be a part of this group as a mentor gardener, and I will also have my own small plot to garden...along with my own garden for our guests here at the B&B. <br />
<br />
So much is happening here in our little community~hope you will come up North soon and check it out! <br />
<br />
Happy Planting!<br />

Strawberry Basil Freezer Jam~<br />
<br />
I am not a big fan of pectin, so I don't use it. <br />
You can do any strawberry jam recipe. Here is my version~<br /> 4C strawberries, hulled<br /> 4C sugar<br /> 2C basil leaves<br /> 1 tbsp each lemon and orange juice<br /> <br />
Put the basil, 1tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp lemon in a food processor and
chop until you have the consistency of a pesto. Put aside.<br /> Mix the
berries and 2C of sugar in a large pan. Heat to boiling, stirring
constantly. Boil for 2 minutes, continuing to stir. Add the remaining
2C sugar. Return to boiling and stir while the mixture boils for 3
minutes. Remove from the heat, add basil and orange juice. Pour into a
large bowl and skim the top. Stir frequently and skim top as needed
until slightly cooled. Cover bowl and let stand overnight. Pour in
jars or containers and freeze. Make 2-4 pints. Store jam in freezer
until needed. After opening, it keeps for about 3 weeks in the fridge.Applesauce Inn Bed and Breakfast-Bellaire, MIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04612140647043696449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352177751525909256.post-55330718236549979802012-03-28T17:42:00.000-04:002012-03-28T17:42:52.259-04:00Wordless Wednesday-Update on Remodel<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Wishing I had a few "Elves" to help get ready for a full house of guests this last weekend of the year here at the Applesauce Inn Bed & Breakfast!! I feel like the little elf on the right~worn out from the Christmas holiday rush of baking, shopping and traveling! Looking forward to welcoming folks for the weekend, I have champagne and noise makers ready for the New Year's Eve fireworks show on Summit Mountain at Shanty Creek (we can see the fireworks from our front porch), yummy breakfast menus planned and more cookies and desserts to make!! <br />
I would like to wish everyone a wonderful New Year filled with precious memories and many blessings! I look forward to welcoming you into our home this coming year!<br />

Directions</h3>
<ol>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">
Arrange the panettone bread cubes to fit compactly
into a buttered 2 quart casserole dish. Do not compress too tightly; set
aside any leftover bread cubes.
</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">
Whisk together 3 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar until the
sugar is dissolved and the mixture becomes light yellow in color. Pour
in the cream, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon orange liqueur; whisk to
combine. Stir in 1 pinch salt, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, lemon zest, and
orange zest. Pour this mixture over the panettone cubes in the casserole
dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">
Remove the bread from the refrigerator, uncover,
and dot the top of the bread pudding with 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, and
sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of white sugar.
</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">
Just before serving, make the sauce by melting 1/2
cup butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup
orange liqueur, 3 tablespoons water, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/8
teaspoon salt. Stir and heat over medium heat until the sugar is fully
dissolved and the liquid is heated through. Remove from heat.
</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">
In a small mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg until well
beaten. While whisking the egg, slowly pour 2 tablespoons of the hot
mixture into the bowl with the egg. Then, while whisking mixture
vigorously, slowly pour the warmed egg mixture back into the sauce.
</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">
Place the saucepan back over low heat, gently
stirring the sauce and raising the temperature slowly to medium.
Continue to stir until the sauce almost reaches a simmer, reducing the
heat as necessary if the mixture threatens to boil. Continue stirring
until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon over the bread pudding
and serve immediately.
</span></li>

Sift flour, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt and baking powder into another large bowl. Stir into pumpkin mixture in 2 additions. </div><div class="instruction">Divide batter equally between prepared pans. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, 35-45 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool 10 minutes. Using sharp knife, cut around edge of loaves. Turn loaves out onto racks and cool completely. </div><div class="instruction"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Cinnamon Ginger Cream Cheese Frosting</span></b></div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">1 stick butter (room temp)</li>
