Ingredients

• ✓ yellow onion
• apple
• pear
• cider vinegar
• white sugar
• cherry
• lemon
• mustard seed
• salt
• cinnamon
• ginger
• allspice
• clove

Instructions

1. 1 Inspect 6 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until chutney is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
2. 2 Combine apples, pears, vinegar, sugar, cherries, onion, lemon, mustard seeds, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves in a wide, nonreactive 4-quart pot over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Stir every minute or so toward the end of cooking to prevent scorching.
3. 3 Pack chutney into hot, sterilized jars using a wide-mouth funnel, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Run a clean wooden chopstick around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles; add more chutney if necessary to bring level to ½ inch of tops. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, uncover pot, and let jars stand in cooling water for 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
5. 5 Transfer jars from stockpot to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool and let rest, several inches apart to cool completely. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area. Sealed jars are shelf-stable for at least 1 year.

• cumin
• oregano
• black pepper
• basmati rice
• spaghetti
• kosher salt
• red bell pepper
• butter
• olive oil
• water
• salt
• bay leaf
• carrot
• celery
• chicken

Instructions

1. 1 Place chicken, celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot and cover with water. Set over high heat, add salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the thighs and legs can be pulled easily from the carcass, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, carefully tipping the carcass to drain any broth from the cavity back into the stockpot.
2. 2 Let meat sit until it's cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Separate skin, bones, and meat. Set aside 2 cups shredded meat (white, dark, or a combination of the two) for rice-a-roni and reserve the rest for another use.
3. 3 Transfer skin and bones back to the stockpot with the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until you need it. Strain.
4. 4 Combine oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot and melted, add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broken spaghetti and cook until toasted and light golden brown to dark brown in color, about 3 minutes; it's okay if the onions and peppers start to caramelize.
5. 5 Add rice and stir until completely coated. Add pepper, oregano, cumin, and saffron. Stir in 3 ½ cups chicken broth. Add cayenne, garbanzo beans, peas, and shredded chicken and return to a simmer.
6. 6 Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes; do not lift the lid or stir during this time.
7. 7 Remove the lid and check the rice in a couple spots. It should be just barely tender. (If it seems undercooked, you can cover and cook for a few more minutes.) Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let rice sit for 10 minutes.
8. 8 Sprinkle parsley and cilantro over top and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. 2 Trim excess fat from roast, leaving about 1/4 inch fat. Liberally season all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place roast, fat-side up, in a Dutch oven. Place onions on and around the roast.
3. 3 Cover and bake until aromatic, about 1 1/2 hours. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake, turning the meat every 30 minutes and keeping covered, until roast is browned and cooked through, about 3 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
4. 4 Check tenderness of roast with a fork; if not tender enough, add additional cook time in 30-minute increments until meat easily falls apart.

Instructions

1. 1 Combine water, onion skins, and vinegar in a pot; bring to a boil. Set aside onions for another use. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure skins are submerged, for 30 minutes. Remove pot from heat, remove cover, and cool dye to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
2. 2 Remove skins from dye and discard skins. Place eggs in the dye and bring to a boil; cook for 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and leave eggs in the dye until a deep red color is reached, about 30 minutes more.
3. 3 Transfer eggs to a wire rack to dry, about 15 minutes.
4. 4 Rub olive oil onto each egg to make them shiny. Store eggs in the refrigerator.
