    Pair your cheese with homemade apple butter with ginger

    Still have apples in your garden or know someone who does? Then you should make this apple butter, which really has nothing to do with butter. Apple butter is actually cooked applesauce and the name comes from the spreadability of the finished product.

    apple butter with ginger (3 glasses)

    • 1 kg of apples (2.2 lb)

    • 1 dl water (0.42 cup)

    • 250 g sugar (1.25 cups)

    • 15 g freshly grated ginger (0.5 oz)

    method

    • Rinse the apples and cut them into eight pieces (without removing the core). Place them in a saucepan with water. Cook until the apples are soft and tender, it takes about 30-45 minutes – depending on the apple variety.
    • Mash the apples through a sieve to a fine mash, discarding the cores and peels.
    • Return the applesauce to the pan and add the sugar and ginger. Heat slowly and cook for 45-60 minutes over low heat. Stir regularly along the way.
    • Flavour with more sugar and ginger if needed. Pour into sterilised jars and seal immediately.

    The most time-consuming part is mashing the apples through a sieve. It takes a little time and a little effort, but trust me: It’s worth it!

    The apple butter has sweetness and acidity at the same time and pairs well with most cheeses. But is also great with yoghurt and desserts.

  • Goat cheese collab

    Goat cheese collab

    With the arrival of baby goats, spring is back and the new season for goat cheese starts. Typically, fresh goat cheeses are more creamy during spring.

    A group of cheese influencers decided to pay tribute to goat cheese by posting simultaneously on instagram on April 24, 9 AM CT.

    The idea was simple: Post a pairing or a recipe. Of course the results are as different as the persons behind – take a look at the photos below. I invite you to visit the instagram profiles and read about the goat cheese post and see more cheese shots.
