Here in Chatham County, GA. the powers that be got ahead of the national curve and decided that trick or treating would occur on Saturday instead of Sunday this year for several reasons including religious beliefs and the fact that Monday is a school day.
What it says to me is that we all get TWO days to trick & treat!
Did you get the sweet apples for tonights' dunking? The red & green delicious, empires, galas and romes. Remember to candy coat the tart ones, the grannys and the macs, and carmelize some of them too.
Be safe everyone and have fun this weekend.

Recipe: Sweet Apple Chutney
Fall and winter are the seasons for apples and cranberries to be enjoyed. Try dressing up your next meal with a little apple chutney.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups chopped tart apple (granny smith's work best)
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons golden raisins
2 tablespoons dried/fresh cranberries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup apple cider or juice
Preparation:
Heat butter in a medium saucepan; add apples, brown sugar, raisins, cranberries, spices, and juices. Cook over medium heat until fruit is tender and cider has boiled away. If necessary, add a little more apple cider to keep the mixture from scorching. Serve warm or chilled, tastes great with pork, ham or chicken.
Makes about 2 cups.
Bon Apetit, yall!

Happy Birthday Memory
Happy Birthday son. Remember when you were little, you were always worried that you would get clothes for your BD or Xmas. To this day I'm reticent to buy you clothes. If we were in the same city I would be cooking something special for you today. You were always a meat 'n potatoes kind of kid, maybe a juicy pork chop smothered in a sweet apple chutney... now you eat sushi.
Think FRUIT Savannah!
Been thinking and talking to my partner about content for the blog. Decided to keep it light and fruity. If you are from the Savannah area too or have an original use for fruit that you'd like to share, please add it to the comments. Once you start thinking about it, there really are so many uses for fruit besides eating it, think FRUIT Savannah!
Welcome to Too-Fruity-Gift-Baskets' Blog
I hope to use this blog primarily to increase the popularity of fruit gift baskets as the preferred gift of choice. But, I also like to cook & eat of course, so you're likely to see a recipe or two. Stay tuned.
