Mise en place

I made an apple chutney to go with something I'll post tomorrow but here is a pic of how I practice Mise En Place which relaly just means set all your shit up so you can get things done.

Wiki Mise En Place

6 apples, peeled (and cored eventually)
Raisins
Brown Sugar
Apple Cider Vinegar
Ginger and Ground Ginger
Whole Cloves
Butter
Mint
Dash of tangerine juice (my own touch, it's gay but it works for me)

Sautee apples in butter and brown sugar until soft.
Stir in grated ginger/teaspoon of ground and raisins.
Reduce heat to LOW and add in Apple Cider Vingear and a few cloves.
Cover, continue to cook over very low heat.
It's done when the liquid tightens a bit, maybe 20 minutes.
Splash with the citrus juice of your liking...clementines are in season.....
And finish with MINT.

Serve with biscuits, pork, chicken, turkey (add cranberries!!) or anything you lil heart desires.
