Indonesian Honey-Baked Beans

2 15-oz cans white beans, drained
2 apples, pared and diced
2/3 C honey
1/2 C golden raisins
1 sm onion, diced
1/3 C sweet pickle relish
1 T prepared mustard
1 t curry powder, or to taste
salt, to taste

Combine all ingredients in 2 1/2 quart casserole. Add enough water just to cover. Bake at 300*F
about 1 1/2 hours, adding more water if needed.

I put all the ingredients in my crockpot - turned it on high - stirred a few times and cooked about two hours or until apples were softened.

Another 'couture' creation (just joking)




This tan hat is sewn with suede cloth that has embroidery of the same color, lined with suede cloth of the same color, but no embroidery. I made it to try and sell at our Craft Club boutique on November 29, but I like it so much, I'm having mixed feelings.

Fall is here and I'm getting ready for it!




Although our temps here in So. California are still in the 70's and 80's, I'm getting ready for winter with some slouch hats. I have some grand sueded material and having a good time putting them together.
I sure wish I had a 'head' to put the hat on - I tried taking a picture of me in the mirror and all I got was a big flash! I put some interfacing only on the brim of the hat and left the rest of it sort of 'slouchy'.
