Gran Bwa’s Autumn Potpourri By Mambo Sam!

Gran Bwa’s Autumn Potpourri By Mambo Sam   Happy Mabon!  Homemade potpourri is a fun Mabon project.  It’s easy to do with kids or perhaps your elderly relatives.  And even though “potpourri” means “rotten pot” – it sure smells better than it translates.   I asked Gran Bwa to give me some ideas of what should go in a potpourri dedicated to him and this is what he offered!  But you could just use this for ideas and add your own wonderful flowers, fruits, seeds, etc.     Ingredients 2.5 cups of dried apple slices 1 cup of dried orange peels or really almost any citrus peels – try grapefruit, lemon, etc.  Even better if you save them and dry them yourself.  You can easily dry fruit peels in your oven at a low temperature, about 200º F for a couple of hours, checking and turning frequently 1 cup cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces ½ cup cardamom pods ¼  cup whole cloves Add in rosemary, nutmeg, ginger, star anise, black peppercorns, any combination. 3-4 bay leaves Small pine cones (even better if you can go pick them up in nature) Pick some fall wildflowers and let them dry out or just add them as is and allow them to dry in the potpourri (if you do this, plan on stirring your potpourri around to let them get air A little bit of vanilla or other oil that you like Directions Break down the larger pieces.  If you have a mortar and pestle, use it to grind down some of the bay leaves or other items to help release the oils.  Otherwise, just break some of the items down to smaller pieces.  You want a mixture of your smaller and larger pieces.  Mix them all up in a big bowl and add your oil.  Cover it for a couple of days to let it all blend.  You can burn some green candles that you dedicate to Gran Bwa near the bowl and ask him to bless the potpourri for a bountiful year for you and yours. ***PLEASE NOTE ; This potpourri is NOT TO BE TAKEN INTERNALLY - DO NOT EAT IT!  It looks pretty and smells amazing, but do not eat :-) ****

Mambo Sam’s Cranberry Apple Pie!

Welcome back to What's Cookin' with Mambo!  This pie never goes out of season!  Mambo Sam’s Cranberry Apple Pie Ingredients Crust:  Use your favorite crust recipe OR there is no shame in your game if you use a store bought refrigerator crust.  It saves time and it’s delicious especially if you brush it with a little bit of egg and sugar before you bake the pie! Don’t sweat this and let it stop you from making a pie!  Pie is supposed to be fun, go buy that crust if you don’t know how to make one or don’t want to. You are a pie warrior! Filling: 6 cups sliced apples – go crazy – use three different types of your favorites 1 cup dried cranberries ¾ cup white cane sugar 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½  teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg ½ teaspoon ground cardamom 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon of water Steps: Heat oven to 425°F. Place bottom crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against side and bottom.  In a big bowl, mix all your filling ingredients. I like to let them set a few minutes to allow the natural juices to come together.   Carefully pour into your pie plate.  Top with your choice of second crust. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal then press together by fluting with a fork or with your fingers.  Cut slits or shapes in several places in top crust. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch wide strips of foil after first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
