The comeliness of natural things decorates this kitchen: old mixing bowls heaped with apples, garlic heads, bundled herbs. Good cooks work like this, surrounding themselves with the tools and materials of their craft as inspiration.

Cooking apple butter

“Apple butter is cooked in big copper kettles all day over open fires. The butter is made by constantly stirring a mixture of apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.” - via Wikimedia Commons
