Naturally sweet apples make the best applesauce so look for varieties like Winesap, Gala, Fuji, Macintosh or Yellow Delicious.

Potato Latkes
For the crispiest, most tender latkes, use starchy potatoes like russets or Idaho.
Diane’s Hot Water Corn Bread
The crunchy, gritty texture of cornmeal adds a rustic appeal to this simple fried corn bread.
Diane’s Collard Greens
This recipe can be prepared as a side dish, or add a little meat and it becomes a main course. Take care not to overcook the greens so that they come off the stove with some texture and color.
German Stollen
Although a fruitcake, don’t confuse sweet and tender stollen with traditional rum soaked versions.
Jalapeno Poppers
Anything wrapped in sweet, smoky bacon is a sure crowd pleaser especially these kicky peppers filled with warm, creamed cheese. Try another fun variation by stuffing a large, dried date with a smoked almond, wrapping with a slice of bacon then grilling until the bacon is crispy. Outstanding!
Corn, Bacon and Sour Cream Casserole
Yes, this casserole is rich, decadent and certainly an indulgence but it’s hard to pass up the combination of sweet corn, smoky bacon and tangy sour cream. While you can use canned corn, fresh, local corn is an even better idea.
Spiced Bacon Twists
Serve these “twisted” little treats in the morning along with some scrambled eggs or offer them on their own as an appetizer.
Baked Brie with Peach Chutney
Sweet and spicy peach chutney is the perfect topping and compliment for a creamy wheel of tangy Brie. Leaving the edible rind of the cheese intact helps the wheel to hold its shape as it warms.
Chilled Peach Soup
When it’s cold outside, hot soup warms you up so chilled fruit soups make perfect sense in the summer, cooling your body when the sun beats down. Use this soup as a dessert, an appetizer or a really special way to start off breakfast.
Fresh Peach Sorbet
This simple recipe delivers creamy, sweet sorbet without using an ice cream maker. It’s a wonderful recipe for cling peach varieties. For an extra special touch, try this recipe using white peaches.
Cornmeal Shortcakes with Fresh Peaches
These delightful rustic shortcakes have a great texture — tender, crumbly and slightly crunchy — a fitting companion and compliment to sweet, juicy peaches.
