The Summer Heat drives many of us out of the kitchen and onto the deck to grill.
Although I love grilled food (especially because that means Mr. Chef is doing a lot of the work), sometimes I just don’t want to eat Grilled Goodies everyday! So, this summer, when Mother Natures turns on the heat & you don’t want to turn your oven-heat on… turn instead to your Crock Pot!
Now, we often think of the Crock Pot for making thick and hearty Winter Dishes – but it can easily adapt to make delicious fresh flavored lighter summer dishes! The gorgeous Peppers that will soon be overflowing from your bountiful Summer Garden can easily be cooked up for your next great dinner in your Crock Pot.

I love using my crock pot! It usually gets pulled out an average of once a week during the fall/winter months.

After making my Apple Butter and having lots of Apples I decided to make a family favorite – Pulled Pork, but with a twist. This Apple Maple Pulled Pork (with a kick) was an awesome variation of my normal pork. The Apple/Maple flavors were there, but I wanted more. I could have easily added more Maple as well as some more diced Apples, but I was craving something else… I remembered that we had some Spicy Apple Jack BBQ Sauce made by Bonfatto’s and knew that with a splash of that the flavors would really be “amped up” – that was the perfect touch! The Maple Apple Pulled Pork is a Perfect Fall Classic Dish, no matter how you “kick it up a notch” at the end!
