Cranberry Relish
I originally got this from my mother waaayyyy back when I was married to wife #1, and I haven't been married to her for over 26 years. Anyway, when I was between wife #2 and #3, I was invited to our city's fire department for Thanksgiving dinner. I worked on the other side of the building but had more firefighter friends than those in the thin blue line. I always brought my cranberry relish which made cranberry eaters out of guys that thought they were too tart. You'll never go back to the jelled can after this!
6 oz box of Lemon Jello (or 2-3oz boxes)
1 Orange - pick out seeds or seedless
2 Apples - cored (Washington Red Delicious, of course)
1 20oz can Crushed Pineapple - Drained
1 & 3/4 cup sugar
16oz bag Cranberries (I use 1 & 1/2 bags of 12oz)
Dissolve the jello in 1 cup of boiling water.
Add the sugar. Mix well.
Grind the apples, oranges and cranberries together and mix in with the jello mixture. I use my Oscar food processor.
Add pineapple. combine ingredients well and refrigerate.
I find it's best if I quarter the apples and orange before grinding. You have to watch and make sure you have no huge chunks when you combine ingredients. I add some quarters of orange, several quarters of apple and pour some cranberries in and grind them in a mixed batch when I place them in the food processor.
Always better if mixed at least a day before. 2 or more is better. And can be frozen for a month or so.

I'm digging this thread up off the basement floor!
Today I decided to smoke chicken breast and see how it came out. I am using a cheap charbroil smoker, but its been pretty good for the money. I am currently fabricating a smoker too, but thats a work in progress...any how
I covered 5 chicken breasts in McCormics pork rub(wrong animal, I know, but its awesome) and then soaked them in a homemade BBQ sauce(not trying to give away the secret recipe, but it has apple sauce and cayenne pepper in it)
and came up with this:
Then they went into the smoker for almost 3 hours, using lump charcoal, and hickory wood chips soaked in apple juice. Every half hour or so I would flip them and lather them up with more BBQ sauce... And out they came:
I used apple juice in the smoker to keep some moisture in the chicken, and it worked perfectly.
They were very very tasty, and I will make them again for sure...
