Let's us cook up some treats for Rosh Hashanah - sensitive tummies and adventurous eaters invited!

Caramel Baked  Apples -

For the sauce:
1 ~14oz can of full fat coconut milk
1/3c honey
Cinnamon, black pepper and salt to taste
Empty your coconut milk and your honey into a cast iron pan on the stove, with the burner set to 3-ish. Turn to low once the sauce have achieved a lazy simmer, and reduce until caramel coats spoon thickly and a line holds.
Season to your delight and enjoy, or cool in the refrigerator (adjust seasoning ~.o)
6 medium apples, with the core dug out, leaving ~½” in the bottom
~1 ½ c chopped nuts mixed with the cooled sauce

Preheat the oven to 350𝆩
Stuff the apples to the tops (don’t overfill ~.o), and place in a casserole dish. Add ~ ¼ “ water to the bottom of the dish.
Bake for 4-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and rest for ten minutes. Enjoy!

Should you want to reheat the apples from refrigerated, cover in foil and set in a 200𝆩 oven for about 45 minutes.

It’s absolutely osm that Sparassis has no toxic lookalikes, but still, but I’mma say it until people stop poisoning themselves by accident: make sure you know you're harvesting what you think you're harvesting. Remember friend, every mushroom is edible, but some mushrooms are only edible once. Also, some of them will make you itch &/or vomit ~.o
