Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (6 ounce) box long grain and wild rice blend, i use uncle bens but any brand will work. i use the original recipe, not quick cooking, but use your
• chicken broth, to cook the rice in
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 granny smith apples, diced
• 1 teaspoon apple jelly
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh sage
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 rice -- cook the rice according to directions. i like to cook in chicken broth for extra flavor, but by all means, water will work just fine.
• 2 note: if entertaining, i replace 1/2 cup of the chicken broth with wine to even give the dish more flavor, but for every day i don't. also if you have kids you may or may not want to. that is up to you. the wine adds a great flavor to the dish however.
• 3 apples and onions -- as the rice cooks which will take about 20-30 minutes heat up a small skillet on medium heat and melt the butter. saute the onions and apples on medium for 5 minutes until soft but not over cooked. add in the apple jelly, sage, salt and pepper.
• 4 mix -- when the rice is done, combine the rice with the apple mixture and it is ready to enjoy. if you want, garnish with a teaspoon of butter to mix in and even make the dish richer in flavor.
