Cranberry Chutney

Taste-testers at the craft show liked it!
CRANBERRY CHUTNEY
1 pound of cranberries (4 cups) of course it would take just a tad more than you get in a package at the store. You don't have to chop them.
l small tart apple diced
2 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup dried currants (these are like raisins, only tiny)
1/2 teas. salt, l/2 teas ground ginger, l/2 teas. ground cinnamon. 1/4 teas. ground cloves, l teas. yellow mustard SEED, and 1/4 teas. dried pepper flakes.
Bring mixture to a boil, lower the heat and cook about 25 minutes. It should begin to thicken, and will thicken more when it is cooled. It made about 2 pints and you can freeze it. Put it on top of a layer of cream cheese and eat with crackers. Kathy and I thought it would be good on a bagel or a muffin, or just eat with a spoon. Also I didn't have the cloves so you can omit them, I don't see it could be any better. Ground cloves are like 6.00 a teaspoon. I hope you like it.

Absentee voting is like using one of those motorized shopping carts at the Walmart store, a concession to old age. Next time I will take my folding chair and my book to the polls.

The Older, the Better

Probably twenty five years ago, PJ and I went to the flea market in Shipshewanee, from a distance I could see a beautiful quilt hanging in one of the booths. This was back when it was a true flea market and not manufactured stuff. It came home with us, it is a seven sisters pattern I think and it was really quite worn. All these years I couldn't bring myself to make anything from it but finally I have decided that these are worthy of it and I hope someone will appreciate its beauty in the way I have used it.
