Starting Thursday, January 3rd - The Tokens of Thyme Club

Would you like to make these 12 small blocks from the Tokens of Thyme pattern by Pastthyme Patterns? They are made from Marcus Wool Collection of 10 inch squares. Would you like to do so with a group? There are currently 4 people, including Delphine, in this group and we are asking others to join us. The blocks finish at 6" and can be used separately or put together into a small quilt. Please consider joining us for 2 - 3 hours the first Thursday of the month throughout 2019 to work on these blocks as we learn stitches and techniques from each other. There is no cost to join provided you buy the pattern and wool from our shop for $74.99.

Recipe of the Month
French Apple Cake from "Milk Street" on PBS
This simple dessert is less cake than sauteed apples set in a thick, buttery custard encased in a golden crust.
(My husband, Dennis, is already begging me to make this again)
Heat the oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Coat a 9 in. spring-form pan with butter, dust evenly with flour, the tap out the excess. In a 12 in. skillet over medium-high, melt the butter. Cook, swirling the pan frequently, until the milk solids at the bottom are golden brown and the butter has a nutty aroma, about 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small heat-proof bowl without scraping out the skillet. Stir the allspice into the butter and set aside.
Add all the apples, 2 Tbsp. of the sugar and the salt to the still-hot skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all moisture released by the apples has evaporated and the slices are beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the brandy and cook until evaporated, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a large plate, spread in an even layer and refrigerate uncovered until cool to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla and 9 Tbsp, of the remaining sugar. Gradually whisk in the browned butter. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until smooth; the batter will be very thick. Add the cooled apples and fold until evenly coated with batter. Transfer to the prepared pan, spread in an even layer and sprinkle with the remaining 1 Tbsp, sugar.
Bake until deeply browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Run a knife around the inside of the pan and remove the sides before slicing.
