Once again, I do apologize on not posting new recipes recently! I've been traveling around the country yet again. From South Carolina to all of New England and then on to Utah. A little exhausted. While my husband and I were traveling through New England we visited several factories along the way. Including Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, Cabot Cheese Creamery, Vermont Maple Syrup Farm, and Cape Cod Potato chips. I like trying things that are made locally so I went to town! Got some maple syrup, greek yogurt, cheese, and had a little bit of ice cream (YUM!) I also came across some maple yogurt - made from whole milk - so full of fat, but of course delicious. Anyways, back to my newest invention. We grabbed some smoked provolone cheese along the way (not from the Cabot Creamery) and this stuff looked GOOD! It had the marks on the back where it had been laying on the grill in the smoker. Yummy. I had brought along my usual snacks and foods - crackers, apples, cranberries, nuts, honey etc... We were camping on this trip so I got to get creative with my little grill and this was the result.
So here is how I did it:
1-2 apples -diced
1/4 Cup dried cranberries (raisins would be good too!)
4-8 crackers (use whatever kind you have - whole wheat of course being a good choice)
Nuts (I used pumpkin seeds in this batch - but I made another with walnuts - both delicious)
Provolone cheese
1 TBSP Honey
1/2 tsp Olive oil
Dash of maple syrup
Dice apples and cook over medium heat in honey, olive oil, and maple syrup. (cook covered - about 6-12 minutes until apples are tender)
Add in nuts and cranberries - cook until they are warmed.
Place a thin slice of cheese on the cracker and spoon a portion of the apple mixture on top.
Scrumptious. All done while camping. Who knew.
