First, grease a 12-inch springform pan with the melted butter, then flour it. Prepare apples by peeling and coring, then cut them into quarters and slice.

Whisk eggs and sugar in a bowl until creamy. add the flour and baking powder, then combine. add milk, butter and vanilla and then mix. add the apples and cranberries to the batter. Pour into the greased and floured pan, and put pan on a cookie sheet. Bake on bottom shelf of oven at 375F (190C) for 10 minutes. Move to top shelf and bake at 375F (190C) for

50 minutes, checking with wooden skewer for doneness. reduce heat if cake gets too dark – it should look golden and caramelized. When baked, remove from oven and carefully pull knife along the ring but do not open the springform. let cool in fridge very well before removing springform. if you store the torte for longer than a day, you should transfer it to a glass plate; otherwise, the cake might oxidize on metal.

spicy Italian sausage soup The Pork Shop For 4-6 people

1 lb (450 g) hot italian sausage, casings removed1 medium onion, diced3 cloves garlic, minced3 stalks celery, diced3 large carrots, peeled and diced4 cups (1 l) beef broth1 cup (250 ml) nova Scotia red wine 1 28 oz (795 ml) can stewed tomatoes1 cup (250 ml) tomato sauce1 tsp (5 ml) dried oregano1 tsp (5 ml) dried basil1 cup (250 ml) dried pasta such as zitiParmesan cheese for topping

Place a large pot over medium-high heat and sauté the sausage meat. remove the sausage meat and add in the onions, garlic, celery and carrots. if the sausage meat is not overly fatty you may need to add some olive oil at this point. Sauté until everything has begun to soften, about 7 or 8 minutes.

add in the stock, red wine and stewed tomatoes. if the tomatoes are whole, break them up with the back of your spoon. add the oregano and basil. toss the sausage meat back into the pot and let it all come to a boil. reduce to a simmer for about 40 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. add the pasta just 20 minutes before serving, so you don't end up with soggy starchy bits floating around your soup.

Serve garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and some fresh bread.

cornect Family Farm

Hidden amongst the woodlands and blueberry fields of Denver, Guysborough county, cornect Family Farm proudly produces the finest artisan honey from wildflowers and blueberry blossoms of the surrounding areas. We initially began beekeeping 16 years ago in order to pollinate our own blueberry fields and we now have over 300 beehives. The first 30 pounds of honey we harvested set a pattern that continues to this day, as we continue to harvest our honey for use in the many value-added products we produce on the farm. All products are diabetic and celiac friendly.

Grasp the body and twist off the large front legs and claws. Separate the claw from the knuckle.

Break the hinged part off the claw and remove the meat with a fork or pick. Crack the claw with lobster crackers. Be careful to crack the shell only and not damage the meat inside. Knuckle meat can be removed with a lobster fork.

Twist the tail away from the body.

Cut the tail on both sides or grasp it tightly and squeeze until it cracks. Snap off the tail flippers.

Push out the meat in one piece. Peel back the flap on the upper side of the tail to expose the vein, remove and discard the vein.

Unhinge the back from the body and remove the green tomalley. Red roe of the female lobster is extremely tasty and considered a delicacy.

Open the main body section by cracking it apart. The meat in this section can be removed using a fork or pick. Discard the dark sac located between the eyes (since this is not edible). Twist the walking legs from the body. Clench between teeth and nibble meat from legs. The same method can be used to extract meat from the tail flippers.
