Three Chimneys: Celery, Apple and Chestnut Soup

Made as my contribution to Christmas dinner. Interesting. Made some adjustments to it as I as going - added a few more chestnuts than the recipe called for. I wasn't that happy with it - too much apple, not enough of the other ingredients. Still, everybody ate it.

Three Chimneys: Baked Stuffed Apples

Well, it's December so I start thinking about Christmas. This recipe needed mincemeat, so I bought a jar and made this and a batch of mince pies. Both were delicious. The recipe wanted the apples to be baked with sherry. Didn't have any, so I used dark rum instead.
