EASY BBQ SAUCE

Ingredients

• 1/2 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together onion soup mix, sugar, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Do not use until the last few minutes of cooking, because this sweet sauce will burn if cooked for too long or over too high heat.

OK...I added some items to this

I used a bit more brown sugar

1/3 cup of chili sauce

some minced garlic

some Amish sweet pepper relish

and a bit of hot sauce

I put some on top of ribs in the crockpot after they had cooked on high for a couple of hours

and then I heated the rest up and let it simmer, and served it with the ribs.  

Warm apple/pineapple/pomegranite/blueberry sauce

I had five apples, each a different kind which I needed to use up.  I sliced them and then cut each slice into

small pieces, placed in a pan, added some brown sugar and cinnamon and put in the oven at 375 for about 35 minutes.  Then I let them cool a bit.  Put in the blender, along with a small cup of pineapple chunks and a bit of pom/blueberry juice.  Kept warm by sitting them on the top of my gas stove while something else was cooking in the oven. 

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!

SCALLOPED RED POTATOES

I washed a bunch of very small red potatoes and tossed them in olive oil and minced garlic and some freshly ground pepper.  Put them in the oven at about 375 until they were almost tender.

Then took them out of the oven and cooled a bit, before slicing each potato into three pieces.  I crumbled up a small sleeve of saltines and tossed them in with the potatoes, and then poured some half and half over the whole thing, sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top, and put back into the oven for about 20 or 25 minutes.    About halfway through I realized that they would be too dry, so I poured some more half and half over the whole  thing, sprinkled more parm cheese and returned to oven.

Next time, I would add some pats of butter.  THEY ARE VERY TASTY!!!
