This is the recipe my Grandmother would make every year during the holidays. I found the recipe tucked in her Bible when she passed, and it was written in her Grandmother's handwriting. It's been in my family for at least 7 generations, and in 2012, I won a Blue Ribbon at the Kentucky State fair by following her exact instructions. Tastes like pure love!

Tender, slow-cooked pulled pork perfectly pairs with sweet and tangy caramelized apples and onion — a perfect fall sandwich.
Savory Portobello Mushroom Burgers
These portobello mushroom caps are brushed with a marinade of Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and garlic dressing. This is a quick, easy, and light alternative to a regular beef burger. I know many meat eaters who love these!
Plum Torte
So easy to make and it's delicious! Take advantage of plum season to make this torte. The torte base will complement many types of fruit. I've used regular plums and quartered them and it was super tasty too. Next time, I'll try it with apricots. I use just a little less than 1/2 cup of sugar because I'm not a fan of sweet desserts. Serve plain or with vanilla ice cream.
