I had a grandmother who didn’t cook with measuring cups and spoons; rather, cooking was like an art to her–part

creativity, part experimentation. Unfortunately, all her masterpieces died with her as she left no record of any of her recipes. I’d rather leave some reference for my cooking inspirations, but like Granny, it’s all in the creativity so enjoy playing with this one.
Apples and Greens with Honey, Cider and Garlic
3 large handfuls chopped fresh greens (remember they cook down so 3 handfuls was enough for my daughter and me as a side dish)
half of a golden delicious apple, sliced thinly
half an onion caramelized
cider–approximately 1/4 cup
honey–approximately 1tbsp
3 cloves pressed garlic
olive oil–drizzled to lightly coat bottom of pan
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Lightly coat bottom of pan with oil and add pressed garlic. Heat on medium heat until garlic starts to sizzle. Add cider, apples, caramelized onions, and honey. Stir and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. Turn off burner and remove pan. Stir in greens until just wilted then serve with salt and pepper to taste.
Sounds delicious and just in time. My chard is HUGE. Thanks so much for sharing!
Frost is looming, and we have plenty of greens to use up. Thanks for the recipe!
My Italian grandmother was the same way… All of her recipes were as simple as “lots of love”, I guess at one time people probably knew what that meant!
I’m gonna have to try this! This looks fantastic!
