Ingredients:
1 Banana (ripe)
1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup Rice Crispies (or you may substitute 1 cup of oatmeal)
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, mash up the banana thoroughly.
Add one cup Peanut Butter and mix.
Stir in one cup of Rice Crispies.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spoon mix in one inch balls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Lightly press the balls down to flatten.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until a nice golden brown.
Place on cooling racks to cool.
6 quarts of Applesauce
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon of allspice
1 Crock pot (slow cooker) 6 quart size
Large spoons and ladles
Fill the crock pot to within an inch of full with applesauce, mine takes about 5.5 quarts.:
Stir in the spices: 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon of allspice or spice to taste.
Set the crock pot on low or medium heat. . Every crockpot is different, so you just going to get to know which setting works best on your crock pot.
Cover it loosely, I use a pair of chopsticks which I place across the top of the crock pot, then I put the lid on top of those. This leaves a space for the moisture to escape when cooking down the butter.
Leave it to cook for 6 – 18 hours. How long depends on the size and power of your crockpot, and how thick you like it, Stir it occasionally, to keep the butter from burning to the sides of the crock pot. When the apple butter is at the desired thickness transfer to containers and refrigerate or seal in canning jars. I allow mine to cool, place it in medium plastic containers and freeze it.

Your family will love this heartwarming Christmas story told from an unlikely perspective: a donkey carrying Mary to Bethlehem. Though the donkey wasn’t the biggest, fastest, or strongest of all the animals, he had an important job all the same. Adults and children alike will love the message about how God has big plans for little ones.
Dandi Daley Mackall loves God, children, words, and animals.

My Review:
So this book is about a small donkey who compares himself with the strong stallions and imagines himself to be greater than he is. Then one day he is called by his owner and is set to do the most important job, carry pregnant Mary to Bethlehem. The story follows his trip and arrival and the birth of the child that Mary is carrying. It is cute, has nice pictures and short. It ill hold your little one’s attention during the story. I give 4 out of 5 stars.
