Im kicking myself now for not taking home some apple butter and maple syrup when I was in San Francisco, but I sure enjoyed them immensely with thick yoghurt when I was there! I got them at this wonderful grocery called Rainbow, sigh.. I hope we have a grocery like that here.. I could walk the aisles for hours..

Aside from toast or waffles, try topping the apple butter on vanilla ice cream or plain yogurt! You can do the same with pumpkin butter. It is so delicious!

Now I am intrigued about apple butter! What’s a good brand available in Manila? And where can I buy a bottle? Am imagining eating it on whole wheat toast…with sweet butter pa! (What’s a good brand of sweet butter, too? I saw Darigold brand at Cash & Carry. Is it any good?)

Roadside farms are my weakness too. Husband gets irrirated because I always make pit stops whenever I see one when we come back home from a road trip. I love it when they let you pick strawberries, blueberries, oranges or even peaches off the tree yourself. As for apple butter, I just simply love the smell, you are right it’s very Christmasssy, nothing says western Christmas than appler butter or the smell of pumpkin pie baking in the oven. I love it on anything but most especially on crepes.

I love apple butter with my toast, fluffy pancakes and crispy waffles.

HI MM!

I love going to roadside farms. There are a lot here in NJ and I do the same thing – buy corn, tomatoes, squash and anything else they have. Straight from the farm, fresh and amazingly quite bigger in terms of size compared to ones you would buy at the grocery. I love just driving around during the summer because there are a lot of things to see. I can never seem to get my Mom – when shes visiting – to see the beauty in all this. She would prefer spending 3 hours in Nordstrom or the whole day in Woodbury Commons or just everyday gallavanting in NYC. I can’t blame her of course – but there is soooo much more in the tri-state area to see!! Oh well….

Apple butter on banana bread. I tell you its perfect. Add a little butter too before spreading the apple butter.

Am just reading your profile for the first time and found out you have a viking stove (envy!envy!). Am curious – is your fridge a subzero?
