I originally made this apple juice brine recipe for chicken to pair with a gifted bottle of apple wine. It was quite possibly the best chicken I have ever roasted. I love cooking the chicken in a cast-iron roasting pan, sitting on a bed of chopped apple, onion, and garlic. Place thawed whole chicken in chilled brine and refrigerate for 18 to 24 hours — roast chicken as usual.

Bologna Salad Sandwich Spread
My friend's mom made this bologna salad spread for our Iowa Teen Club luncheon back in the 1950s. I used to make it for my kids when they were growing up, and they still love it! Sweet relish and eggs round out the flavor of bologna in this simple but delicious spread. Serve it on cocktail toast, or use it in sandwiches. The amount of egg, salad dressing, and relish can be adjusted to taste.
